lateral geniculate body

Most of these fibres terminate in the lateral geniculate body.

The effects of visual deprivation on the morphology and physiology of cell's lateral geniculate body.

The massive, fan-like fiber system passing from the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus to the visual cortex.

The signals are passed on to the lateral geniculate body, in turn giving them to the occipital cortex (the outer matter of the rear brain).

The idea of three separate channels running from the retina to the visual cortex via the dorsal lateral geniculate body is now well established.

It is involved in the special sense of vision and sends its superior brachium to the lateral geniculate body of the diencephalon.

The visual cortex also receives information from subcortical regions, such as the lateral geniculate body, located in the thalamus.

Ablation of area 17 leads to almost total loss of cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate body, a process known as retrograde degeneration.

From the lateral geniculate body, fibers of the optic radiation pass to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe of the brain.

The revolution, eternally vigilant, multitasked on his lateral geniculate body, rousting slumbering synapses to recognize suspicious patterns of behavior.

Retinal sensors convey stimuli through the optic tracts to the lateral geniculate bodies, where optic radiations continue to the visual cortex.

Although these phasic waves are observed in many portions of the animal brain, they are most noticeable in the pons, lateral geniculate bodies, and the occipital cortex.

These include the pretectum, the ventral lateral geniculate body, the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, and the three terminal nuclei of the accessory optic system in the midbrain.

In short, optic atrophy is the end result of any disease that damages nerve cells anywhere between the retinal ganglion cells and the lateral geniculate body (anterior visual system).

Hubel, DH and Livingstone, MS. Color and contrast sensitivity in the lateral geniculate body and primary visual cortex of the macaque monkey.

The first (A) is a bottom-up component in which the input to the higher visual cortex (where conscious perception takes place) comes from the retina via the lateral geniculate body and V1.

A distinction is often drawn between the relatively direct pathway from the retina to the visual cortex, by way of the dorsal lateral geniculate body, and the projection to other sites in the brainstem.

This limb contains the main structures; the retina that contains the retinal ganglion axons in the optic nerve, chiasm and tract, the lateral geniculate body, and the visual cortex.

Of these the largest are the dorsal lateral geniculate body, in the thalamus, and the superior colliculus, in the midbrain, but there are a number of other sites which also receive direct retinal input.

Tissue blocks were dissected at post-mortem from the hippocampus (at the level of the lateral geniculate body) and the middle temporal gyrus (Brodman's area 21) of both the AD and control cases.

However, calbindin and calretinin also show low levels of staining in the ventral nuclear group and in the medial and lateral geniculate bodies which overlaps with the intense parvalbumin staining in these regions.

The name "striate cortex" is derived from the 'stria of Gennari', a distinctive stripe visible to the naked eye that represents myelinated axons from the lateral geniculate body terminating in layer 4 of the gray matter.

However, cortical visual prostheses are important to people who have a completed damaged retina, optic nerve or lateral geniculate body, as they are one of the only ways they would be able to have their vision restored, so further developments will need to be sought out.

The brachium of superior colliculus (or superior brachium) extends laterally from the superior colliculus, and, passing between the pulvinar and medial geniculate body, is partly continued into an eminence called the lateral geniculate body, and partly into the optic tract.
