The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus is the exclusive relay of retinal
information en route to the visual cortex. Although much of our understanding about dLGN …

Inhibitory neurons dominate the intrinsic circuits in the visual thalamus. Interneurons in the
lateral geniculate nucleus innervate relay cells and each other densely to provide powerful …

The advent of transgenic mice has made the developing retinogeniculate pathway a model
system for targeting potential mechanisms that underlie the refinement of sensory …

Patterned spontaneous activity in the developing retina is necessary to drive synaptic
refinement in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Using perforated patch recordings from …

A fundamental feature of the mammalian visual system is the presence of separate channels
that work in parallel to efficiently extract and analyze specific elements of a visual scene …

Sensory information originating in individual whisker follicles ascends through focused
projections to the brainstem, then to the ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) of the …

Local interneurons provide feed-forward inhibition from retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) to
thalamocortical (TC) neurons, but questions remain regarding the timing, magnitude, and …

The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the mouse has emerged as a model system
in the study of thalamic circuit development. However, there is still a lack of information …

Spontaneous retinal waves are critical for the development of receptive fields in visual
thalamus (LGN) and cortex (VC). Despite a detailed understanding of the circuit …

Much of our present understanding about the mechanisms contributing to the activity‐
dependent refinement of sensory connections comes from experiments done in the …
