Blackawton P, Airzee S, Allen A, Baker S, Berrow A, Blair C, et al.
Biol Lett
. 2010 Dec;
7(2):168-72.
PMID: 21177694
Background: Real science has the potential to not only amaze, but also transform the way one thinks of the world and oneself. This is because the process of science is...

Lotto R, Purves D
J Cogn Neurosci
. 2001 Aug;
13(5):547-55.
PMID: 11506656
The perceived difference in brightness between elements of a patterned target is diminished when the target is embedded in a similar surround of higher luminance contrast (the Chubb illusion). Here...

Lotto R, Asavaritikrai P, Vali L, Price D
J Neurosci
. 2001 May;
21(11):3904-10.
PMID: 11356878
Many neurons die as the normal brain develops. How this is regulated and whether the mechanism involves neurotrophic molecules from target cells are unknown. We found that cultured neurons from...

Purves D, Lotto R, Williams S, Nundy S, Yang Z
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci
. 2001 Apr;
356(1407):285-97.
PMID: 11316481
Many otherwise puzzling aspects of the way we see brightness, colour, orientation and motion can be understood in wholly empirical terms. The evidence reviewed here leads to the conclusion that...

Lotto R, Purves D
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2000 Nov;
97(23):12834-9.
PMID: 11058148
For reasons not well understood, the color of a surface can appear quite different when placed in different chromatic surrounds. Here we explore the possibility that these color contrast effects...

Purves D, Williams S, Lotto R
Novartis Found Symp
. 2000 Aug;
228:240-54; discussion 254-8.
PMID: 10929326
The quality of brightness--perhaps the simplest visual attribute we perceive--appears to be determined probabilistically. In this empirical conception of the perception of light, the stimulus-induced activity of visual cortical neurons...

Lotto R, Purves D
Nat Neurosci
. 1999 Oct;
2(11):1010-4.
PMID: 10526341
Observation of human subjects shows that the spectral returns of equiluminant colored surrounds govern the apparent brightness of achromatic test targets. The influence of color on brightness provides further evidence...

Cooke S, Grant G, McLauchlan C, Lotto R, Price D
Neurosci Lett
. 1999 Oct;
271(3):143-6.
PMID: 10507689
Subplate neurons form a transient layer immediately below the embryonic cortex and die early in postnatal life. It has been suggested that trophic factors, perhaps coming from cortical afferents, maintain...

Purves D, Shimpi A, Lotto R
J Neurosci
. 1999 Sep;
19(19):8542-51.
PMID: 10493754
A long-standing puzzle in vision is the assignment of illusory brightness values to visual territories based on the characteristics of their edges (the Craik-O'Brien-Cornsweet effect). Here we show that the...

Lotto R, Aitkenhead A, Price D
J Neurobiol
. 1999 May;
39(2):186-96.
PMID: 10235673
The cerebral cortex is a multilayered tissue, with each layer differing in its cellular composition and connections. Axons from deep layer neurons project subcortically, many to the thalamus, whereas superficial...
