Normann, Richard A.; Shoham, Shy | Coding of position by simultaneously recorded sensory neurones in the cat dorsal root ganglion | Muscle, cutaneous and joint afferents continuously signal information about the position and movement of individual joints. How does the nervous system extract more global information, for example about the position of the foot in space?

Normann, Richard A. | Control of retinal sensitivity. I. Light and dark adaptation of vertebrate rods and cones | Rods and cones in Necturus respond with graded hyperpolarization to test flashes spanning about 3.5 log units of intensity. Steady background levels hyperpolarize the rods, and the rod responses become progressively smaller as background level is increased.

Normann, Richard A. | Functional reorganization of primary visual cortex induced by electrical stimulation in the cat. | Compared to the high degree of plasticity observed in a juvenile, mature sensory cortices have long been held to be immutable but, recently, researchers have suggested some plasticity persists in the mature cortex. Cortical reorganization has particular saliency to the development of a cortically ba... | Cat; Electrophysiology; Phosphene; Plasticity; Receptive Field; Striate Cortex | 2005 |
