Bursting thalamic responses in awake monkey contribute to visual detection and are modulated by corticofugal feedback
The lateral geniculate nucleus is the gateway for visual information en route to the visual cortex. Neural activity is characterized by the existence of 2 firing modes: burst and tonic. Originally associated with sleep, bursts have now been postulated to be a part of the normal visual response, stru...
