Notch3-Dependent Effects on Adult Neurogenesis and Hippocampus-Dependent Learning in a Modified Transgenic Model of CADASIL

We and others have reported that Notch3 is a regulator of adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), the most common genetic form of vascular dementia, is caused by mutations in Notch3. The present study intended to investigate whether there is a correlation between altered adult hippocampal neurogenesis and […]

Characterizing the Third Visual Pathway for Social Perception

To understand the behaviour and intentions of other people we use visual cues generated by the movements and actions of their faces and bodies. These include facial expressions, eye-gaze, body movements, and the audio-visual integration of speech. Explaining the neural processes that enable us to see, process, and respond to these signals is a fundamental […]

Third Visual Pathway, Anatomy, and Cognition across Species

Pitcher and Ungerleider [1] proposed extending the two visual pathway model to include a third visual pathway (TVP) for social perception. The TVP is consistent with the lateral stream as previously referenced in the human neuroimaging literature [2–4] (Figure 1). The authors use a variety of evidence in support of the TVP, including examples of […]
