The primate superior colliculus and the shift of visual attention.
seem to be affected very dramatically and can subserve foveal vision as well. Have you any ideas on what this cortical input is doing as well as on the anatomy of the lower layers of the colliculus about which you haven't talked but which may clarify some things? LUND: That really is puzzling. I think it highly unlikely that there is a major direct optic projection to the rostral colliculus. It...
متن کاملMicrosaccadic suppression of visual bursts in the primate superior colliculus.
Saccadic suppression, a behavioral phenomenon in which perceptual thresholds are elevated before, during, and after saccadic eye movements, is an important mechanism for maintaining perceptual stability. However, even during fixation, the eyes never remain still, but undergo movements including microsaccades, drift, and tremor. The neural mechanisms for mediating perceptual stability in the fac...
متن کاملVisual-motor function of the primate superior colliculus.
One of the major functions of the brain, and probably the original function of all nervous systems, is to produce movement in response to sensory stimulation. In recent years one case of such sensory-motor function, the visual initiation of eye movements, has been studied extensively. Much of this work has centered on the most obvious candidate for visual-motor guidance, the superior colliculus...
متن کاملSharper, Stronger, Faster Upper Visual Field Representation in Primate Superior Colliculus
Visually guided behavior in three-dimensional environments entails handling immensely different sensory and motor conditions across retinotopic visual field locations: peri-personal ("near") space is predominantly viewed through the lower retinotopic visual field (LVF), whereas extra-personal ("far") space encompasses the upper visual field (UVF). Thus, when, say, driving a car, orienting towar...
متن کاملRepresentation of Horizontal head-on-body position in the primate superior colliculus.
Movement-related activity within the superior colliculus (SC) represents the desired displacement of an impending gaze shift. This representation must ultimately be transformed into position-based reference frames appropriate for coordinated eye-head gaze shifts. Parietal areas that project to the SC are modulated by the initial position of both the eye-re-head and head-re-body and SC activity ...
