Neuronal circuits in the brain are shaped by experience during'critical periods' in early
postnatal life. In the primary visual cortex, this activity-dependent development is triggered …

This year, the field of neuroscience celebrates the 50th anniversary of Mountcastle's
discovery of the cortical column. In this review, we summarize half a century of research and …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …

▪ Abstract In mammalian visual cortex, neurons are organized according to their functional
properties into multiple maps such as retinotopic, ocular dominance, orientation preference …

The human cerebral cortex is notorious for the depth and irregularity of its convolutions and
for its variability from one individual to the next. These complexities of cortical geography …

In the primary visual cortex, neurons with similar response properties are arranged in
columns. As more and more columnar systems are discovered it becomes increasingly …

Infrared neural stimulation (INS) is an alternative neurostimulation modality that uses pulsed
infrared light to evoke spatially precise neural activity that does not require direct contact …

The occipital lobes were obtained after death from six adult subjects with monocular visual
loss. Flat-mounts were processed for cytochrome oxidase (CO) to reveal metabolic activity in …

The initial establishment of ocular dominance columns in visual cortex is believed to involve
the segregation of overlapping geniculocortical axons into eye-specific patches based on …

The biological underpinnings of human intelligence remain enigmatic. There remains the
greatest confusion and controversy regarding mechanisms that enable humans to …
