Completing the split in the split-brain rat: transection of the optic chiasm.

Abstract:

:We describe a stereotaxic technique to transect the optic chiasm in the rat and present illustrative data on the interocular transfer of visual discrimination in chiasm-sectioned and chiasm-plus-forebrain commissure-sectioned animals. Applications of the technique are discussed.

  • Peripersonal and extrapersonal visuospatial neglect in different frames of reference: A brain lesion-symptom mapping study.

    abstract:INTRODUCTION:Visuospatial neglect can occur in peripersonal and extrapersonal space. The dorsal visual pathway is hypothesized to be associated with peripersonal, and the ventral pathway with extrapersonal neglect. We aimed to evaluate neural substrates of peripersonal versus extrapersonal neglect, separately for egoce...
