Binocular Response Modulation in the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus

Our brains combine the signals from the two eyes to create a singular view. Where the separate streams from the two eyes meet in the primate brain is unclear, with debate centering on whether the signals from the two eyes remain separate within the main target of retinal projections, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Here we review the effects of binocular stimulation on LGN neurons and evaluate neural circuits that might mediate binocular interactions in this structure.
