Holly A. GultianoThe idea that ephaptic coupling is involved in neuronal synchrony was put forward back in 1970 by N. Yu. Belenkov, "Ephaptic Transmission of Excitation as a Factor in the Synchronization of Neuronal Activity", published in the book "Electrophysiology of the Central Nervous System" 978-0306303814<a href="https://synapse.cafe/tags/OldNeuroPapers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldNeuroPapers</a>(idk why he says the etymology of ephaptic means "to set on fire," it's epi- hapto-, as in haptic <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%90%CF%86%CE%AC%CF%80%CF%84%CF%89#Ancient_Greek" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%90%CF%86%CE%AC%CF%80%CF%84%CF%89#Ancient_Greek</a> )

Alessandro D'Ausilio"The velocity of thought"Directly from 1870, a true gem from the past.M. Foster writes about recent explorations moving from the quantification of 'physiological time' or nerve conduction speed (Helmholtz) to the 'speed of thought', which, using the subtractive method, allowed Donders to open up a whole new world to us.<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/002002a0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.nature.com/articles/002002a0</a>*The description of the technique used to measure the short intervals between electrical stimulation of nerves and muscle activity gives a measure of the epic nature of science at that time.For a little more context: <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12535921/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12535921/</a>*The conclusions (screenshots below) could be written today: - We need standardisation of the tool/instruments - We need large samples to draw accurate inferences<a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroscience</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#psychology</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/cognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cognition</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/OldNeuroPapers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldNeuroPapers</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/replicability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#replicability</a>

Thanks! 1980s.

The famous paper is of course this one, which led all textbooks to talk about a "limbic loop" (but please avoid this term!).I never had the chance to track it further back, but it would be a beautiful project! 🙂 Also: current understanding of basal ganglia loops have evolved from the idea of segregated loops, although some still like this notion.<a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroscience</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/OldNeuroPapers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OldNeuroPapers</a>

Justine Sergent at McGill in the early 90s showed the first evidence of a dedicated face processing region in the ventral stream, which Nancy Kanwisher later clearly established in the mid to late 90s for its domain specificity and calling it the Fusiform Face Area (FFA). Nancy also identified another region that was dedicated exclusively to places/scenes, Parahippocampal Place Area (PPA)9/10

Bob Desimone (my mentor), and Tom Albright joined as some of his first grad students. The inimitable Eric Schwartz joined them as a postdoc for a couple years. The Gross lab in the mid to late 1970s established systematically that IT neurons responded to complex visual inputs, their overall shapes, and thus objects rather than to individual features like orientations, or color, or simple curvature. This led to the funny and famous story of the "toilet-brush" neurons. The toilet-brush neurons also responded to “hand” cells that Charlie had earlier identified, so the “fingers” in the two were the commonality. This led them to come up with the idea of Fourier shape descriptors to suggest how the brain builds the "it" from the "bits" (a forerunner to all the modern linear combination of activities to give an output response, including the currently in-vogue deepnet models). 6/10

This was the first demonstration of neurons being active for visual inputs far away from the striate areas!Later Peter Schiller joined them in the experiments. They also showed these neurons were involved in attentional mechanisms. The input stimuli, however were still rudimentary and not resembling anything “object” like: diffused light, orientation, movement etc., And then by happenstance, Charlie found "face" and "hand" cells (much like how Hubel and Wiesel found orientation cells by complete accident, slipping of the image on the projector)!5/10

Paul Bucy, a neurosurgeon performed the surgery and experiments. However, Bucy did not observe any of the hypothesized effects of mescaline and instead discovered that the animal had significant impairment/abnormalities. These broadly included: subdued/docile emotional expressions, adverse sexual behavior, dietary changes, utilization behaviors, increased tendency to use the mouth for exploring the world, and finally, but most importantly for our story, difficulties in visual learning and agnosia!In the 1950s, neuroscientists and surgeons documented and confirmed similar behaviors in humans who had temporal lobectomy. Today, we know this as the famous/eponymous Klüver-Bucy syndrome due to bilateral lesions (or tumors) of the medial temporal lobe (MTL).2/10
