Coronal brain slice showing projections from different visual areas in the cerebral cortex to the ventrolateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN). These pathways are part of the circuit identified as ...

High-resolution 3D reconstruction of the two metathalamic structures: six layers of the lateral geniculate body (left) and three subdivisions of the medial geniculate body (right) in the BigBrain ...

进一步，研究者通过环路示踪、在体光纤钙成像、光遗传和化学遗传学操控等方法发现视网膜-腹侧外膝(Ventral lateral geniculate nucleus，vLGN)投射通路在绿光镇痛中扮演关键角色。当针对vLGN表达前脑啡肽（Proenkephalin, Penk）的GABA能神经元进行环路特异性操控以及敲减vLGN脑啡肽和抑制中缝背核（Dorsal raphe ...

Visualization of the medial geniculate body (MGB) in the brain of human test persons. The MGB is part of the auditory pathway. It is organized in such a way that certain sections represent certain ...

On- and off-center geniculate afferents form two major channels of visual processing that are thought to converge in the primary visual cortex. However, humans with severely reduced on responses ...

Geniculate Neuralgia (GN) is caused by by a small nerve being compressed by a blood vessel. It results in severe, deep ear pain which is usually sharp. ...
