Wong, Peiyan (2009-08-26)Department: PsychologyStudies of cortical architecture have been used to subdivide cortex into areas of presumed functional significance and reveal features of areal differentiations across species. In the present studies, cortical architectures ...
-
Khaytin, Ilya (2008-03-31)Department: NeuroscienceThe primate visual system is highly interconnected and hierarchically organized. Three separate pathways, originating in the layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), carry retinal information to primary visual cortex ...
-
Li, Lu (2006-04-17)Department: PsychologyThis thesis is aimed at developing a better understanding of the cortical influence on computational maps at subcortical levels by studying how cortex modulates the tuning properties of thalamic relay neurons using rat’s ...
-
Kim, Jejoong (2008-07-23)Department: PsychologyThis dissertation aimed to investigate perception of socially-relevant visual stimuli in schizophrenia. Past studies have revealed that schizophrenia patients (SZ) are deficient in processing rapid visual stimuli (e.g. ...
-
Li, Keji (2015-07-16)Department: PsychologyPulvinar is the largest thalamic nucleus in primates, with extensive connections with visual cortical areas. In simian species, two retinotopic maps have been reported in the lateral (PL) and inferior (PI) pulvinar ...

Burish, Mark Joseph (2008-06-06)Department: NeuroscienceFrontoparietal cortex, consisting of motor and early somatosensory areas, is the first cortical region to receive inputs from the spinal cord and the last to convey outputs to the spinal cord. This dissertation investigated ...
-
Reed, Jamie Lynn (2009-12-10)Department: NeuroscienceI investigated how tactile stimuli applied to different parts of one hand and to both hands affect neuronal response properties in primary somatosensory cortex (area 3b) of owl monkeys. The premise of this research is that ...

Fan, Reuben Hsing (2012-09-04)Department: NeuroscienceIdentification of homologous primate visual areas and common organizational strategies among visual areas are essential to determining if a basic plan for primate visual cortex and visual areas exists. In this dissertation, ...
