The Saccadic Re-Centering Bias is Associated with Activity Changes in the Human Superior Colliculus
Being able to effectively explore our visual world is of fundamental importance, and it has been suggested that the straight-ahead gaze (primary position) might play a special role in this context. We employed fMRI in humans to investigate how neural activity might be modulated for saccades relative to this putative default position. Using an endogenous cueing paradigm, saccade direction and or...
متن کاملA circuit model for saccadic suppression in the superior colliculus.
Attenuation of visual activity in the superficial layers (SLs), stratum griseum superficiale and stratum opticum, of the superior colliculus during saccades may contribute to reducing perceptual blur during saccades and also may help prevent subsequent unwanted saccades. GABAergic neurons in the intermediate, premotor, layer (SGI), stratum griseum intermedium, send an inhibitory input to SL. Th...
متن کاملSaccadic eye movements: oculomotor control in the superior colliculus
An important part of human perceptual activity is the numerous eye movements that must be made during even the shortest task. The organisation of photoreceptors in the eye is such that the vast majority are located in a small, shallowly depressed region in the centre of the retina called the fovea, a window that receives light stimuli subtending approximately 1◦ of visual field. In trichromatic...
متن کاملThe locus of motor activity in the superior colliculus of the rhesus monkey is unaltered during saccadic adaptation.
The location of motor-related activity in the deeper layers of the superior colliculus (SC) is thought to generate a desired displacement command specifying the amplitude and direction of saccadic eye movements. However, the amplitude of saccadic eye movements made to visual targets can be systematically altered by surreptitiously moving the target location after the saccade has been initiated....
متن کاملNeuronal activity in monkey superior colliculus related to the initiation of saccadic eye movements.
The introduction of a temporal gap between the disappearance of an initially fixated target and the appearance of an eccentric saccadic target results in a general reduction of saccadic reaction times (SRTs)-the gap effect-and often in the production of express saccades, the latencies of which approach the conduction time of the shortest neural pathways from the retina to the eye muscles. We in...
