Input-specific intrasynaptic arrangements of ionotropic glutamate receptors and their impact on postsynaptic responses.

12 Oct 2009 To examine the intrasynaptic arrangement of postsynaptic receptors in relation to the functional role of the synapse, we quantitatively analyzed the two-dimensional distribution of AMPA and NMDA receptors (AMPARs and NMDARs, respectively) using ... Read more...

Involvement of the thalamocortical loop in the spontaneous switching of percepts in auditory streaming.

5 Oct 2009 Perceptual grouping of successive frequency components, namely, auditory streaming, is essential for auditory scene analysis. Prolonged listening to an unchanging triplet-tone sequence produces a series of illusory switches between a single coherent ... Read more...

Central vasopressin and oxytocin receptor distributions in two species of singing mice.

29 Sep 2009 The neuropeptides arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) are key modulators of vertebrate sociality. Although some general behavioral functions of AVP and OT are broadly conserved, the detailed consequences of peptide release seem to be ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Geniculate Bodies'

Definition: Part of the diencephalon inferior to the caudal end of the dorsal thalamus. Includes the lateral geniculate body which relays visual impulses from the optic tract to the calcarine cortex, and the medial geniculate body which relays auditory impulses from the lateral lemniscus to the auditory cortex.

Descriptor UI: D005829
