Specifically, the center-surround antagonism of retinal ganglion cells and the lateral geniculate nucleus exhibits high sensitivity to contrast variations, corresponding to the distinct contrast ...

They then recorded the activity of neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), the part of the thalamus that relays visual information to the visual cortex. The recordings showed that cell ...

A medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear affects the inside of the knee. The tough MCL ligament fibers that connect the end of the femur (thigh bone) and the top of the tibia (shin bone) can tear, ...

The pre-OPN OTI model involves microsurgery to apply mechanical pressure between the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and the OPN, injuring retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons. This method has ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. DJ Siddiqi is a reporter who covers the NFL, NBA, and pro wrestling.

Work on fear conditioning has shown that there are direct, subcortical projections to the amygdala from the auditory thalamus (that is, from the medial geniculate nucleus (MGN)) in rats.

In this review, we focus on the medial group referred to as the “medial septum (MS),” which consists of the medial septal nucleus and the diagonal band of Broca. The chemoarchitecture of the MS allows ...

These are screws that are inserted through the skin using a hollow, narrow tube called a cannula. The oblique medial malleolar fracture generally occurs along with a rotational injury that starts on ...

We found clusters of active voxels along the ascending auditory pathway that responded to various types of complex sounds: inferior colliculus (IC), medial geniculate nucleus (MGN), auditory core, ...
