Laing R, Turecek J, Takahata T, Olavarria J
Cereb Cortex . 2014 Jun; 25(10):3314-29. PMID: 24969475
Ocular dominance columns (ODCs) exist in many primates and carnivores, but it is believed that they do not exist in rodents. Using a combination of transneuronal tracing, in situ hybridization...

Laing R, Bock A, Lasiene J, Olavarria J
J Comp Neurol . 2012 Mar; 520(14):3256-76. PMID: 22430936
Previous studies have shown that retinal input plays an important role in the development of interhemispheric callosal connections, but little is known about the role retinal input plays on the...
3.
Bock A, Kroenke C, Taber E, Olavarria J
J Comp Neurol . 2011 Aug; 520(5):914-32. PMID: 21830218
Retinal input plays an important role in the specification of topographically organized circuits and neuronal response properties, but the mechanism and timing of this effect is not known in most...

Bock A, Olavarria J
Neurosci Lett . 2011 Jul; 501(3):152-6. PMID: 21782890
Previous studies have reported that intrahemispheric connections between area 17 (V1, striate cortex) and other cortical visual areas are not point-to-point, but instead have some degree of convergence and divergence....

Olavarria J, van Brederode J, Spain W
Neuroscience . 2007 Aug; 148(3):683-99. PMID: 17706364
Development of the visual callosal projection in rodents goes through an early critical period, from postnatal day (P) 4 to P6, during which retinal input specifies the blueprint for normal...
6.
OBrien B, Abel P, Olavarria J
Neurosci Lett . 2001 Oct; 312(3):145-8. PMID: 11602331
Several studies have provided evidence for direct retinal input to the pulvinar of macaques monkeys, but there is no general agreement regarding the extent of this projection. Moreover, it is...

Olavarria J
J Comp Neurol . 2001 Apr; 433(4):441-57. PMID: 11304710
Previous studies have shown that the distribution of callosal connections in the 17/18 callosal zone of the cat is patchy at a small scale, but the mechanisms that determine this...

Abel P, OBrien B, Olavarria J
J Comp Neurol . 2000 Nov; 428(2):278-93. PMID: 11064367
In visual area V2 of the macaque monkey callosal cells accumulate in finger-like bands that extend 7-8 mm from the V1/V2 border, or approximately half the width of area V2....

Olavarria J, Van Essen D
Cereb Cortex . 1997 Jul; 7(5):395-404. PMID: 9261570
In primate visual area V2, histochemical staining for cytochrome oxidase (CO) reveals a tripartite pattern of densely labeled thick and thin stripes separated by pale interstripes. This modularity is believed...

OBrien B, Abel P, Olavarria J
Cell Tissue Res . 1997 Jul; 289(1):11-6. PMID: 9182596
In the present report we describe a morphological anomaly of the thalamus. In three macaque monkeys (Macaca fascicularis), we observed up to five finger-like protrusions that emanated from the posterior...
