Evolution of columns, modules, and domains in the neocortex of primates
JH Kaas - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
The specialized regions of neocortex of mammals, called areas, have been divided into
smaller functional units called minicolumns, columns, modules, and domains. Here we …

Visual cortical areas of the mouse: comparison of parcellation and network structure with primates
ME Laramée, D Boire - Frontiers in neural circuits, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Brains have evolved to optimize sensory processing. In primates, complex cognitive tasks
must be executed and evolution led to the development of large brains with many cortical …

Functional ultrasound imaging of deep visual cortex in awake nonhuman primates
Deep regions of the brain are not easily accessible to investigation at the mesoscale level in
awake animals or humans. We have recently developed a functional ultrasound (fUS) …

Consciousness in teleosts: There is something it feels like to be a fish
ML Woodruff - Animal Sentience, 2017 - wellbeingintlstudiesrepository.org
Ray-finned fish are often excluded from the group of non-human animals considered to have
phenomenal consciousness. This is generally done on the grounds that the fish pallium …

Development of ocular dominance columns across rodents and other species: revisiting the concept of critical period plasticity
T Takahata - Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2024 - frontiersin.org
The existence of cortical columns, regarded as computational units underlying both lower
and higher-order information processing, has long been associated with highly evolved …

Universal transition from unstructured to structured neural maps
Neurons sharing similar features are often selectively connected with a higher probability
and should be located in close vicinity to save wiring. Selective connectivity has, therefore …

Learned value shapes responses to objects in frontal and ventral stream networks in macaque monkeys
We have an incomplete picture of how the brain links object representations to reward value,
and how this information is stored and later retrieved. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), medial …

Origins of feature selectivities and maps in the mammalian primary visual cortex
TR Vidyasagar, UT Eysel - Trends in neurosciences, 2015 - cell.com
A common feature of the mammalian striate cortex is the arrangement of 'orientation
domains' containing neurons preferring similar stimulus orientations. They are arranged as …

Ocular dominance columns: enigmas and challenges
In some mammalian species, geniculocortical afferents serving each eye are segregated in
layer 4C of striate cortex into stripes called ocular dominance columns. Having described …
