Optical Imaging of Retinotopic Maps in a Small Songbird, the Zebra Finch
No full textKeary N, Voss J, Lehmann K, Bischof H-J, Loewel S. Optical Imaging of Retinotopic Maps in a Small Songbird, the Zebra Finch. PLOS ONE. 2010;5(8): e11912.Background: The primary visual cortex of mammals is characterised by a retinotopic representation of the visual field. It has therefore been speculated that the visual wulst, the avian homologue of the visual cortex, also contains such a retinotopic map. We examined this for the first time by optical imaging of intrinsic signals in zebra finches, a small songbird with laterally placed eyes. In addition to the visual wulst, we visualised the retinotopic map of the optic tectum which is homologue to the superior colliculus in mammals. Methodology/Principal Findings: For the optic tectum, our results confirmed previous accounts of topography based on anatomical studies and conventional electrophysiology. Within the visual wulst, the retinotopy revealed by our experiments has not been illustrated convincingly before. The frontal part of the visual field (0 degrees +/- 30 degrees azimuth) was not represented in the retinotopic map. The visual field from 30 degrees-60 degrees azimuth showed stronger magnification compared with more lateral regions. Only stimuli within elevations between about 20 degrees and 40 degrees above the horizon elicited neuronal activation. Activation from other elevations was masked by activation of the preferred region. Most interestingly, we observed more than one retinotopic representation of visual space within the visual wulst, which indicates that the avian wulst, like the visual cortex in mammals, may show some compartmentation parallel to the surface in addition to its layered structure. Conclusion/Significance: Our results show the applicability of the optical imaging method also for small songbirds. We obtained a more detailed picture of retinotopic maps in birds, especially on the functional neuronal organisation of the visual wulst. Our findings support the notion of homology of visual wulst and visual cortex by showing that there is a functional correspondence between the two areas but also raise questions based on considerable differences between avian and mammalian retinotopic representations
The Running Revolution: Observations and Advice from Joe Henderson
No full textJoe Henderson has been the heartbeat of the running revolution since its beginnings in the early 1970s. Hiz eighth book offers the best of his running and writing career to this point (1980). Best-selling author Dr. George Sheehan says of him, Joe is a deceptively simple writer who makes it look easy. His instincts and intuitions about the running experience give him complete control, complete confidence. When it comes to writing about running, Joe has perfect pitch. Fellow author Jim Fixx adds that Henderson is as good a mentor as anyone could be lucky enough to have.https://openprairie.sdstate.edu/prairiestriders_pubs/1193/thumbnail.jp
Novelist Eugene Burdick
No full text1964 photograph taken by Joe Munroe of famed author Eugene Burdick as he plays racquetball. Burdick was a political science professor at the University of California. His famous works include 'The Ugly American' (1958), 'Fail-Safe' (1962) and 'The 480' (1965). Joe Munroe's career began in 1939 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art. He served in the Air Force during World War II and then joined Cincinnati-based Farm Quarterly magazine. Though raised in Detroit, agriculture became an important subject of Joe's photographs. He moved to California in 1955 and free-lanced, taking magazine assignments and selling his own work
