Deichler, Alfonso; Carrasco, Denisse; López Jury, Luciana; Vega Zúñiga, Tomás; Márquez, Natalia; Mpodozis Marín, Jorge; Marín, Gonzalo J. (Nature Research, 2020)The parabigeminal nucleus (PBG) is the mammalian homologue to the isthmic complex of other vertebrates. Optogenetic stimulation of the PBG induces freezing and escape in mice, a result thought to be caused by a PBG projection ...

Fredes, Felipe; Vega Zúñiga, Tomás; Karten, Harvey J.; Mpodozis Marín, Jorge (2012)The mammalian pulvinar complex is a collection of dorsal thalamic nuclei related to several visual and integrative processes. Previous studies have shown that the superficial layers of the superior colliculus project to ...

Vega Zúñiga, Tomás; Medina, Felipe S.; Fredes, Felipe; Zuniga, Claudio; Severín, Daniel; Palacios, Adrián G.; Karten, Harvey J.; Mpodozis Marín, Jorge (2013)Binocular vision is a visual property that allows fine discrimination of in-depth distance (stereopsis), as well as enhanced light and contrast sensitivity. In mammals enhanced binocular vision is structurally associated ...

The centrifugal visual system of a palaeognathous bird, the Chilean Tinamou (Nothoprocta perdicaria) Krabichler, Quirin; Vega Zúñiga, Tomás; Carrasco Hinojosa, Denisse; Fernández Villafaña, Máximo; Gutiérrez Ibáñez, Cristián; Marín Game, Gonzalo; Luksch, Harald (Wiley, 2017-08)The avian centrifugal visual system, which projects from the brain to the retina, has been intensively studied in several Neognathous birds that have a distinct isthmo-optic nucleus (ION). However, birds of the order ...
