Origin and dynamics of extraclassical suppression in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the macaque monkey.

abstract：:A robust and well-organized rhythm is a key feature of many neuronal networks, including those that regulate essential behaviors such as circadian rhythmogenesis, breathing, and locomotion. Here we show that excitatory V3-derived neurons are necessary for a robust and organized locomotor rhythm during walking. When V3...
