Abstract:In the dorsolateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus, retinal signals are combined with non-retinal inputs such as corticothalamic (CT) feedback and behavioural state. How these shape dLGN activity remains an open question. We recorded extracellular responses in dLGN of awake mice to a movie stimulus, while photosuppressing CT feedback, tracking locomotion and pupil size. To assess the relative impact of retinal and non-retinal inputs, we fit single neuron responses using generalized linear models. Wh… Show more
