We studied the tangential distribution of cytochrome c oxidase (CytOx)-rich blobs in four striate cortices of three normal monkeys (Macaca mulatta). The spatial density and cross-sectional area of blobs were analyzed in CytOx-reacted tangential sections of flat-mounted preparations of the striate co

Recent experiments have studied the development of orientation selectivity in normal animals, visually deprived animals, and animals where patterns of neuronal activity have been altered. Results of these experiments indicate that orientation tuning appears very early in development, and that normal
To date, two subtypes of TrkB, a BDNF receptor, have been described. One is full-length TrkB (TK+), which has a tyrosine kinase-containing intracellular domain. The other is truncated TrkB (TK-), which has a short intracellular domain lacking the tyrosine kinase. In this study, we investigated the d
A preferential looking technique was used to measure detection of visual motion by 12 infant macaque monkeys (10 Macaca fuscatta and 2 Macaca mulatta at ages between 1 and 100 days). A 0.25 cycleddeg square-wave grating was presented at speeds from 40 to 0.4 deg/s. The threshold was determined by a
