Retinal direction of motion is reliably transmitted to visual cortex through highly selective thalamocortical connections
In awake rabbits, Su and Mendez-Platt et al. find that LGN directionally selective (LGN-DS) neurons selectively target layer 4 (L4) V1 simple cells with a similar directional preference, indicating that some of the directional selectivity of L4 V1 neurons is inherited from LGN-DS neurons.

My new lab will investigate thalamic circuits for vision and how the brain actively modifies its visual perception. I will be looking for motivated and talented postdocs, PhD and master/bachelor students - please get in touch if you would like to join my journey.

Happy to share that my work on Fast-Spike Interneurons in Visual Cortical Layer 5: Heterogeneous Response Properties Are Related to Thalamocortical Connectivity is now published in @sfnjournals.bsky.social

Fast-Spike Interneurons in Visual Cortical Layer 5: Heterogeneous Response Properties Are Related to Thalamocortical Connectivity
Layer 4 (L4) of rabbit V1 contains fast-spike GABAergic interneurons (suspected inhibitory interneurons, SINs) that receive potent synaptic input from the LGN and generate fast, local feedforward inhi...
