Geniculate

This signal is then processed through four other layers of the retina and passes through the optic nerve to the lateral geniculate nucleus. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In 1999, researchers from Berkley and Harvard inserted electrodes into the brains of anesthetized cats that monitored the activity of 177 neurons located in the lateral geniculate nucleus, a key visual processing center. ❋ Unknown (2009)

By suturing shut one of a kitten's eyes at various stages of development and for various periods of time, Hubel and Wiesel (1970) showed that certain cortical and thalamic areas supporting binocular vision (specifically, ocular dominance columns and cells in the lateral geniculate body) will not develop normally unless kittens receive patterned visual stimulation during the 4th to 12th weeks of life. ❋ Cowie, Fiona (2008)

It is basically shingles of the geniculate ganglion, and it explains every single one of the patient's symptoms! ❋ 1 Dinosaur (2008)

So far, the most compelling evidence she provides concerns the relationship between orbit convergence (movement of the eyes from the sides to the front of the face) and the activity of parvocellular and magnocellular neurons in the LGN (lateral geniculate nucleus) of the primate thalamus. ❋ Field Notes (2006)

Cells in the retina, lateral geniculate body (a relay station in the brain) and in the visual cortex respond mainly to edges (step changes in luminance) but not to homogeneous surface colours; so a line drawing or cartoon stimulates these cells as effectively as a ‘half tone’ photograph. ❋ Chris (2005)

The clerk Flinx encountered was straight of body but mentally geniculate from a quarter century of answering the same inane questions. ❋ Foster, Alan Dean, 1946- (1983)

The stems are glabrous, creeping and somewhat prostrate at the base, and the upper portion is erect, 3 to 4 feet long, and rooting at the nodes in the geniculate portion of the stem. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)

This grass is an annual with stems ascending from a prostrate or geniculate, rooting branched base, greenish or purplish, glabrous and varying in length from 1 to 2-1/2 feet. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)

Fractus: broken: also applied to a geniculate antenna. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

Pedicellus or Pedicle: the third joint in a geniculate antenna: forming the pivot between scape and funicle: in general, a stalk or stem. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)

This grass is an annual with stems erect or with a geniculate base, tufted, slender or stout; some of the lower nodes of the geniculate part of the stems bear roots; the internodes are green or purple tinged and glabrous. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)

This is an annual with stems ascending from a prostrate or geniculate base, glabrous and varying in length from 1 to 3 feet. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)

Stems are tufted, very slender, widely creeping on all sides, purplish, but the flowering branches are erect or ascending from a geniculate base, leafy at base, the nodes of the creeping branches rooting and bearing tufts of branches which finally become independent plants at each node, the creeping branches vary in length from 1 to 3 feet and the erect ones from 10 to 18 inches or more. ❋ K. Rangachari (N/A)

In the adult the lateral geniculate body appears as an eminence on the lateral part of the posterior end of the thalamus, while the medial is situated on the lateral aspect of the mid-brain. ❋ Unknown (1918)
