We have studied this issue in a rodent model. Partial ablation of the hamster superior colliculus (SC) at birth results in a compressed but complete visual field map in the remaining SC and a compensatory conservation of receptive field (RF) size and stimulus velocity and size tuning. The circuit underlying stimulus tuning in this system or its preservation after brain lesions is not known. Our previous work has shown that N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are necessary for the development and conservation of RF size after partial SC ablation. In this study, we examined whether NMDA receptor function is also necessary for the development and conservation of stimulus velocity and size tuning. We found that velocity and size tuning were unaffected by chronic postnatal blockade of NMDA receptors and the resulting increases in RF size. Thus NMDA receptors in the SC are not necessary for the development of stimulus velocity and size tuning or in the compensatory maintenance of these properties following brain damage. These results suggest that stimulus velocity and size tuning may arise in the retina or from NMDA receptor-independent circuitry intrinsic to SC. The lack of conflict between NMDA receptor activity-dependent and -independent processes may allow conservation of some RF properties while others change during injury-induced or evolutionary changes in afferent\/target convergence. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.01029.2002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,31]],"date-time":"2006-05-31T06:01:10Z","timestamp":1149055270000},"page":"110-119","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["NMDA Receptor Blockade in the Superior Colliculus Increases Receptive  Field Size Without Altering Velocity and Size Tuning"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"90","author":[{"given":"Khaleel A.","family":"Razak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Neurobiology and Behavior, Department of Biology,  Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia 30303"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lihua","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Neurobiology and Behavior, Department of Biology,  Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia 30303"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah L.","family":"Pallas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Neurobiology and Behavior, Department of Biology,  Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia 30303"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"REF1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0952523800008233"},{"key":"REF2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.21-11-04002.2001"},{"key":"REF3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Barlow HB and  Levick WR.
