Investigating the Role of Subcortical Visual Pathways for 'Blindsight' and Gist Perception in Parkinson's Disease Using Multimodal Neuroimaging and Computational Neuroscience

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute

Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily known as a movement disorder, but emerging evidence suggests that it might also significantly impact visual processing, specifically 'blindsight' and gist perception (Diederich et al., 2014;Uchiyama st al., 2012). Read more

Dissecting behaviourally relevant feedback microcircuits in the brain

Queen Mary University of London Blizard Institute

Interactions between distinct neural circuits in the brain help in sensory-guided perceptual decisions. We have recently reported that task/context-switching behaviour is dependent upon specific populations of neurons in the frontal cortex which encode and convey rule-related information (Banerjee et al.
