Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the effects of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) inactivation of the pulvinar on the electrophysiological responses to visual stimuli. A direct way to access the pulvinar-cortical interaction is to pharmacologically inactivate the pulvinar and measure the impact on cortical activity. To this aim, we have focused our efforts on recording in cortical visual area V2 while inactivating the topographically corresponding region of the pulvinar.
期刊介绍：
"Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology" presents critical reviews on all topical fields of normal and experimental anatomy including cell biology. The multi-perspective presentation of morphological aspects of basic biological phenomen in the human constitutes the main focus of the series. The contributions re-evaluate the latest findings and show ways for further research.
