NEURO.tv starts the season with our guest Katherine L. Bryant who came to talk about the visual cortex in primates and the anatomical differences found between the brains of different primates.
Participants from left to right: Diana L. Xie, Katherine Bryant (top), Steven Miller (bottom), Leanne Boucher (top), John L. Kubie (bottom), Jean-François Gariépy.
"0:57" Katherine L. Bryant
"3:24" What is the cerebral cortex?
"7:22" Regions of the brain can relate to specific senses or functions (unimodal) or multiple senses or functions (multimodal).
"10:32" The differences between the brain of humans and chimpanzees.
"12:34" Phylogenetic trees illustrate the evolutionary relations between different species.
"17:57" How do scientists detect the connections between different brain areas?
"19:49" The geniculostriate pathway carries visual information from the eyes to the visual cortex.
"26:18" VGLUT-2, a molecule located at the extremity of neurons that Katherine has used to label a subset of neurons.
"33:56" What is different about the behavior of great apes, squirrel monkeys and macaques that may explain the differences in the anatomy of their brains?
"43:52" What does Katherine think of the Connectome?
"45:51" Activism in academia.
Many thanks to our guests!
