magnocellular

Support for the magnocellular deficit theory of dyslexia is mixed.

The stratae 1 and 2, the most ventral, are magnocellular.

The first is located in the ventral magnocellular lobe, central to the eyes.

Similar magnocellular neurons are also found in the paraventricular nucleus.

Overall, the magnocellular system was 27 percent smaller in this crucial area of the visual system.

Loss of magnocellular function can be found in the early stages of glaucoma.

In the human brain, the majority of the nucleus is composed of the magnocellular component.

Magnocellular cells are primarily concerned with visual perception.

Magnocellular projections as the trigger of top-down facilitation in recognition.

This supports the idea that magnocellular cells are responsible for phantom contour perception under such conditions.

Together with the magnocellular red nucleus, it makes up the red nucleus.

One of these pathways, the magnocellular system, is composed of large cells that carry out fast processes.

Phylogenetically, parvocellular neurons are more modern than magnocellular ones.

It comprises a caudal magnocellular and a rostral parvocellular part.

But the magnocellular layers were more disorganized and the cell bodies appeared smaller in the dyslexic brains, he said.

A small subset of dyslexic individuals have been demonstrated to have deficits in the magnocellular visual system.

It has been suggested that these findings are related to the aforementioned magnocellular deficit purported to exist in this disorder.

They claim the inability of dyslexic children to process stimuli that change rapidly or occur briefly may be unrelated to the magnocellular system.

The spinal cord projections terminate mostly in the parvocellular region along with the adjacent magnocellular cells.

The koniocellular layers are interspersed between the magnocellular and parvocellular layers.

The rest of the magnocellular subnucleus sends its projections to the hemisphere regions of the cerebellum.

Neurohypophysial hormones are synthesized in the magnocellular secretory neurons of the hypothalamus.

The red nucleus may play an additional role in controlling muscles of the shoulder and upper arm via projections of its magnocellular part.

About 10% of retinal ganglion cells are parasol cells in the magnocellular pathway.

They are termed "magnocellular" since they are characterized by their relatively large size compared to parvocellular cells.
