Use of brainstem flat-mounts for visualizing DiI-filled axons in the developing rodent visual system.

The lipophilic carbocyanine fluorescent label DiI was injected in one eye of aldehyde-fixed embryonic or postnatal hamsters and the brains were examined using flat-mounts of the chiasm region, of the lateral surface of the brainstem, or of the midbrain tectum. Single axons could be discerned within the optic nerves and along the optic tract. Many fibers were tipped by growth cones, ending at various levels of the brainstem. Fine details of retinofugal axon morphology, including varicosities, branch-points and filopodial extensions on growth cones were visible in the flat-mounts. Such preparations allow a high-resolution view of labeled axons which course near the surface of the brain. It is possible, with this method, to simultaneously examine the morphogenesis of multiple collateral arbors on single fibers which project to more than one terminal zone.

Dorsal simultanagnosia: An impairment of visual processing or visual awareness?

When presented with two objects patients with simultanagnosia show a marked impairment at naming both items. This has led many authors to conclude that the second item is not being processed (e.g., Robinson, 2003). However, this deficit may instead reflect a deficit with explicit, or conscious report. We investigated this issue using a semantic priming paradigm that allowed us to assess implicit processing of the second "unseen" item. We presented a patient, with bilateral parietal damage, with pairs of pictures that were either from the same or a different semantic category. The patient was asked to either classify one of the pictures or to name both pictures. When the items were from different categories the patient's classification performance was significantly poorer than when they were from the same category, even though he could rarely explicitly report both items. These findings are consistent with the notion that the meaning of the "unseen" item influenced the reporting of the "seen" item. Consequently, the deficit seen in this patient does not seem to reflect an inability to process more than one item simultaneously but rather a deficit in explicitly identifying multiple items.
