BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Because it is a small subcortical structure, the precise
measurement of the human LGN is still a technical challenge. In this article, we identify the …

Purpose The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is an essential nucleus of the visual pathway,
occupying a small volume (60–160 mm 3) among the other thalamic nuclei. The reported …

The human lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the visual thalamus is a key subcortical
processing site for visual information analysis. Due to its small size and deep location within …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging has the potential capacity for noninvasively
depicting the anatomy and function of thalamic nuclei. The purpose of this study was to …

Objective To study if the thalamic lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is affected in multiple
sclerosis (MS) due to anterograde degeneration from optic neuritis (ON) or retrograde …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The precise identification and measurement of the medial
geniculate nucleus and lateral geniculate nucleus on MR imaging remain technically …

Understanding the function and connectivity of thalamic nuclei is critical for understanding
normal and pathological brain function. The medial geniculate nucleus (MGN) has been …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has provided intriguing insights into the
topography and functional organization of visual cortical areas in the human brain. However …

The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus is the major subcortical relay of retinal
input to the visual cortex. It plays important roles in visual perception and cognition and is …

Background We studied the morphological changes occurring in neurons from the dorsal
lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) during aging by analysing the size and shape of cell …
