Nonvisual codes and nonvisual brain areas support visual working memory.
Systems models hold working memory to depend on specialized, domain-specific storage buffers. Here, however, we demonstrate that short-term retention of the identity or location of visually presented stimuli is disrupted by nonvisual secondary tasks performed in the dark-passive listening to nouns or endogenous generation of saccades, respectively. This indicates that the short-term retention o...
متن کاملEffects of bilateral enucleation on the size of visual and nonvisual areas of the brain.
Alterations in the activity of one sensory system can affect the development of cortical and subcortical structures in all sensory systems. In this study, we characterize the changes that occur in visual and nonvisual areas of the brain following bilateral enucleation in short-tailed opossums. We demonstrate that bilateral enucleation early in development can significantly decrease brain size. ...
متن کاملExpression of visual and nonvisual opsins in American chameleon
We previously characterized five visual opsin genes of American chameleon (Anolis carolinensis). Here we report its nonvisual opsin gene orthologous to the chicken pineal gland-specific opsin (p-opsin) gene. In the pure-cone American chameleon retina, all visual opsins including rod opsin are expressed. In both pineal and parietal eye, three visual opsins as well as P-opsin are expressed. Altho...
متن کاملVisual and nonvisual information disambiguate surfaces specified by motion parallax.
Motion parallax has been shown to be an effective and unambiguous source of information about the structure of three-dimensional (3-D) surfaces, both when an observer makes lateral movements with respect to a stationary surface and when the surface translates with respect to a stationary observer (Rogers & Graham, 1979). When the same pattern of relative motions among parts of the simulated sur...
متن کاملA Nonvisual Look at the Functional Organization of Visual Cortex
In this issue of Neuron, Mahon et al. show that the ventral visual cortex of congenitally blind individuals, who have never experienced the visual world, has an object-category organization similar to that found in sighted individuals. Here, we discuss the implications of this finding for our understanding of the "visual" cortex.
