Thalamic neurons can exhibit two distinct firing modes: tonic and burst. In the lateral geniculate
nucleus (LGN), the tonic mode appears as a relatively faithful relay of visual information …

… SWADLOW, HA AND WEYAND, TG Receptivefield and axonal properties of neurons in
the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of awake unparalyzed rabbits. J. Neurophysiol. …

1. We tested the effects of eye position on the visual excitability of 88 neurons in the primary
visual cortex of awake cats trained in oculomotor tasks. For most cells, we examined …

Providing the critical link between the retina and visual cortex, the well-studied lateral
geniculate nucleus (LGN) has stood out as a structure in search of a function exceeding the …

Neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus produce spikes that can be
classified as burst spikes and tonic spikes. Although burst spikes are generally associated …

Several efferent systems of visual area I in Dutch rabbits were studied with anatomical (horseradish
peroxidase) and physiological (antidromic) methods. Anatomical studies provided …

… These procedures have been described by Swadlow and Weyand ('81). A stainless-steel
bar was attached to one side of the cranium with screws and dental acrylic. A cranial trench (…

Despite popular belief that the primary function of the thalamus is to “gate” sensory inputs by
state, few studies have attempted to directly characterize the efficacy of such gating in the …

… SWADLOW, HA AND WEYAND… TG Efferent systems of the rabbit visual cortex: laminar
distribution of the cells of origin, axonal conduction velocities and identification of axonal branches…

… The construction, placement, and use of these electrodes for antidromic identification of
corticotectal cells is described in Weyand et al. (… However, as we will argue below and in Weyand …
