Regulation of Immediate Early Genes in the Visual Cortex

摘要: Light is the fastest and likely most complex source of physical energy processed by mammalian central nervous system (CNS). Throughout evolution, mammals that rely heavily on vision for their normal behaviors have developed an exquisitely elaborate pattern connectivity functionality harnessing, processing integrating visual information. This process allowed remarkable environmental adaptation ecological success a number species. The complexity behavioral relevance system, relative experimental ease associated with research using this modality in laboratory animal models, has arguably placed sensory forefront contemporary neuroscience research.
