Great lecture, but LGN Magno layers project to 4C-alpha and Parvo to 4C-Beta - he made an error there

[@michaelfourie345]

My text book, Kandel's Principles of Neural Science (p550) states that parvocellular layers 3-6 project to layer4Cα, not 4Cβ as stated in this lecture (at 20:15). If I am wrong and there has been more up to date data, I would appreciate somebody giving me the correct information.

Thank you so much Dr Schiller! You have no idea how much this has helped me :) Wish you would come lecture us at Cambridge!

20:30 why the picture shows 3-6 goes to beta while the professor said they goes to alpha? also 1,2 goes to alpha in the picture but professor said they goes to beta.

how dare you question the professor! are you an antisemite? a holocaust denier?

You might want to fix the title. It should be "lateral", not "laternal".

jwdonal Fixed. Thanks for the note!
