Condition-dependent and condition-independent target selection in the macaque posterior parietal cortex.
During a visual search, information about the visual attributes of an object and associated behavioral requirements is essential for discriminating a target object from others in the visual field. On the other hand, information about the object's position appears to be more important when orienting the eyes toward the target. To understand the neural mechanisms underlying such a transition (i.e...
متن کاملVision for action in the macaque medial posterior parietal cortex.
Area V6A encodes hand configurations for grasping objects (Fattori et al., 2010). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether V6A cells also encode three-dimensional objects, and the relationship between object encoding and grip encoding. Single neurons were recorded in V6A of two monkeys trained to perform two tasks. In the first task, the monkeys were required to passively view an...
متن کاملEye position encoding in the macaque posterior parietal cortex.
In two previous studies, we had demonstrated the influence of eye position on neuronal discharges in the middle temporal area, medial superior temporal area, lateral intraparietal area and area 7A of the awake monkey (Bremmer et al., 1997a,b). Eye position effects also have been found in visual cortical areas V3A and V6 and even in the premotor cortex and the supplementary eye field. These effe...
متن کاملSomatosensory cells in area PEc of macaque posterior parietal cortex.
PEc is an area defined on cytoarchitectural grounds, located in the posterior part of the superior parietal lobule of macaque brain (Pandya and Seltzer, 1982). The aim of this work was to assess whether passive somatosensory stimulation elicited responses in PEc neurons. Extracellular recordings were performed in three awake Macaca fascicularis. Passive somatosensory stimulation was performed i...

processing bottlenecks in macaque posterior parietal cortex: an attentional blink?, When two brief stimuli are presented in rapid succession, our ability to attend and recognize the second stimulus is impaired if our attentional resources are devoted to processing the first. Such inability (termed the 'attentional blink' in human studies) arises around 200-500 ms following the onset of the firs...
