The "'lateral geniculate nucleus "'( LGN ) is a sensory relay nucleus in the thalamus of the brain.
42.
There are also projections from the superficial zone to the pretectal nuclei, lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, and the parabigeminal nucleus.
43.
The axons from these ganglia innervate regions of the brain related to object recognition, including the superior colliculus and dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus.
44.
They are reproduced in the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus and reaching to the visual cortex ( occipital ), they activate it.
45.
The LGN is located near the medial geniculate nucleus ( MGN ) which is responsible for organizing auditory stimuli after one hears a specific sound.
46.
This gives an effect like a " knee bend ", and such an antenna is said to be "'geniculate " '.
47.
Retinotopic map refinement occurs in downstream visual targets in the brain-the superior colliculus ( SC ) and dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus ( LGN ).
48.
Just after the facial nerve geniculate ganglion ( general sensory ganglion ) in the temporal bone, the facial nerve gives off two separate parasympathetic nerves.
49.
The ventrolateral geniculate nucleus has been found to be relatively large in several species such as lizards, rodents, cows, cats, and primates.
50.
Receptive fields of cells in the visual cortex are larger and have more-complex stimulus requirements than retinal ganglion cells or lateral geniculate nucleus cells.
