Feedback from V1 and inhibition from beyond the classical receptive field modulates the responses of neurons in the primate lateral geniculate nucleus (2002)
Journal Article
Webb, B., Tinsley, C., Barraclough, N., Easton, A., Parker, A., & Derrington, A. (2002). Feedback from V1 and inhibition from beyond the classical receptive field modulates the responses of neurons in the primate lateral geniculate nucleus. Visual Neuroscience, 19, 583-592

It is well established that the responses of neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) can be modulated by feedback from visual cortex, but it is still unclear how cortico-geniculate afferents regulate the flow of visual information to the cort...

The uses of colour vision: behavioural and physiological distinctiveness of colour stimuli (2002)
Journal Article
Derrington, A., Parker, A., Barraclough, N., Easton, A., Goodson, G., Parker, K., …Webb, B. (2002). The uses of colour vision: behavioural and physiological distinctiveness of colour stimuli. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 357, 975-985. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2002.1116

Colour and greyscale (black and white) pictures look different to us, but it is not clear whether the difference in appearance is a consequence of the way our visual system uses colour signals or a by-product of our experience. In principle, colour i... Read More about The uses of colour vision: behavioural and physiological distinctiveness of colour stimuli.

Insights into the nature of fronto-temporal interactions from a biconditional discrimination task in the monkey (2002)
Journal Article
Easton, A., & Gaffan, D. (2002). Insights into the nature of fronto-temporal interactions from a biconditional discrimination task in the monkey. Behavioural Brain Research, 136, 217-226. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0166-4328%2802%2900136-5

Previous work in monkeys has shown that both frontal and inferior temporal cortices are required to solve visual learning tasks. When communication between these cortical areas is prevented within the same hemisphere by crossed lesions of the frontal...

Spreading Depression-induced preconditioning in the mouse cortex: Differential changes in the protein expression of ionotropic nicotinic acetylcholine and glutamate receptors (2002)
Journal Article
Chazot, P., Godukhin, O., McDonald, A., & Obrenovitch, T. (2002). Spreading Depression-induced preconditioning in the mouse cortex: Differential changes in the protein expression of ionotropic nicotinic acetylcholine and glutamate receptors. Journal of Neurochemistry, 83(5), 1235-1238. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1471-4159.2002.01240.x

Preconditioning of the cerebral cortex was induced in mice by repeated cortical spreading depression (CSD), and the major ionotropic glutamate (GluRs) and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) subunits were compared by quantitative immunoblotting...

Interaction of inferior temporal cortex with frontal cortex and basal forebrain: Double dissociation in strategy implementation and associative learning (2002)
Journal Article
Gaffan, D., Easton, A., & Parker, A. (2002). Interaction of inferior temporal cortex with frontal cortex and basal forebrain: Double dissociation in strategy implementation and associative learning. Journal of Neuroscience, 22(16), 7288-7296

Macaque monkeys learned a strategy task in which two groups of visual objects needed to be treated differently, one with persistent and one with sporadic object choices, to obtain food rewards. After preoperative training, they were divided into two...

Unilateral lesions of the cholinergic basal forebrain and fornix in one hemisphere and inferior temporal cortex in the opposite hemisphere produce severe learning impairments in rhesus monkeys (2002)
Journal Article
Easton, A., Ridley, R., Baker, H., & Gaffan, D. (2002). Unilateral lesions of the cholinergic basal forebrain and fornix in one hemisphere and inferior temporal cortex in the opposite hemisphere produce severe learning impairments in rhesus monkeys. Cerebral Cortex, 12(7), 729-736. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/12.7.729

It has been proposed that isolation of the inferior temporal cortex and medial temporal lobe from their cholinergic afferents results in a severe anterograde amnesia. To test this hypothesis directly, seven rhesus monkeys received a unilateral immuno...

Studies on the subtype selectivity of CP-101,606: evidence for two classes of NR2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonists (2002)
Journal Article
Chazot, P., Lawrence, S., & Thompson, C. (2002). Studies on the subtype selectivity of CP-101,606: evidence for two classes of NR2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonists. Neuropharmacology, 42(3), 319-324. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0028-3908%2801%2900191-5

The subtype-selectivity of racemic [3H]CP-101,606, a novel high-affinity NMDA receptor radioligand was determined using defined recombinant NMDA receptor subunits expressed in HEK 293 cells. [3H]CP-101,606 binds to adult rodent forebrain and NR1/NR2B... Read More about Studies on the subtype selectivity of CP-101,606: evidence for two classes of NR2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonists.
