Three Dimensional Organisation of the Adult Mouse dorsal Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
The dLGN (dorsal Lateral Geniculate Nucleus) is the gateway to cortical processing for visual information encoded by RGCs (retinal ganglion cells). Owing to advances in genetic manipulations, the mouse is increasingly the model system of choice for understanding the function and organisation of the …

Circuit Development in the Dorsal Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (dLGN) of the Mouse.
… used and best understood sensory systems and the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the mouse has emerged as a model for investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the development and activity-dependent refinement of sensory connections. Thalamic organization is highly …

Postnatal development of brainstem cholinergic inputs to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the domesticated ferret, Mustela putorius furo
The ferret dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) undergoes two periods of retinal afferent segregation during postnatal development. The first establishes the eye-specific laminae, A and A 1, and the second establishes ON/OFF sublaminae within laminae A and At. In contrast to eyespecific …

DEVELOPMENTAL REMODELING OF RELAY CELLS IN THE DORSAL LATERAL GENICULATE NUCLEUS (dLGN) OF THE MOUSE AND THE ROLE OF RETINAL INNERVATION
The dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) has become an important model for studying many aspects of visual system development. To date, studies have focused on the development of retinal projections and the role of activity in shaping the pattern of synaptic connections made with …

Mechanisms underlying retinogeniculate synapse formation in mouse visual thalamus
Retinogeniculate (RG) synapses connect retinal ganglion cells to the thalamic relay cells of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN). They are critical for regulating the flow of visual information from retina to primary visual cortex (V1). RG synapses in dLGN are uniquely larger and stronger …

LGN activity patterns during ocular dominance plasticity in vivo
… Visual input travels from the retina through the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus and then into visual cortex. Several models of the thalamic activity patterns which drive OD plasticity have been proposed, but the assumptions about the pattern and amount of input activity …

MELANOPSIN AND PACAP IN INTRINSICALLY PHOTOSENSITIVE RETINAL GANGLION CELLS REGULATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF RETINOFUGAL PROJECTIONS IN MICE
… retinofugal projections to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and refinement of eye-specific segregation in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) have not been extensively determined. To answer these questions, I used tract tracing with eye injections and mesoscale imaging to assess ipRGC …

The development, cytoarchitecture, and circuitry of the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus
… densely innervated by this retinal input are the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) and ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN), both of which reside in the thalamus. The dLGN is well-studied and known to be important for classical image‐forming vision. The vLGN, on the other hand, is …

The Role of Synaptically Evoked Plateau Potentials in Retinogeniculate Development
… of sensory systems by using the mouse retinogeniculate system as a model. Spontaneous retinal waves lead to robust excitatory post-synaptic activity in developing relay cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus and are reportedly needed to help guide the …

Investigating the role of thalamic activity in visual cortical plasticity
… differences may be clarified by analyzing the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus, which is the primary source of visual information for the cortex. In the following sections, we test the hypothesis that SRP expression is driven by the mode of activity of dLGN neurons, …

Characterization of the Role of R7-RGS Proteins in Mammalian Retina and Vision
… and localization of R7-RGS/R7BP complexes in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), iii) characterization of blockade of RGS regulation of Gi2 and Go subunits on outer retina function, and iv) preliminary analysis of the effect of RGS6 ablation on vision. In part i), we found that R7BP is …

The Albino Mouse Visual System: How Perturbed Retinal Development Leads to Altered Binocular Projections
… one of which is a reduction in the ipsilateral retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon projection. This thesis addresses the question of how the disruption of melanin synthesis in the RPE leads to abnormal chiasmatic decussation by using a mouse model that has a mutation in the gene encoding …
