Abstract:SummaryProjections from each eye are segregated in separate domains within the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN). Yet,in vivostudies indicate that the activity of single dLGN neurons can be influenced by visual stimuli presented to either eye. In this study we explored whether intrinsic circuits mediate binocular interactions in the mouse dLGN. We employed dual color optogeneticsin vitroto selectively activate input from each eye and recorded synaptic responses in thalamocortical (relay) cells as well a… Show more
