The planning, control and execution of eye movements in 3D space relies on a distributed
system of cortical and subcortical brain regions. Within this network, the Eye Fields have …

Many new findings on the organization of saccades and pursuit eye movements at the
cortical level have recently been reported. Furthermore, eye movements are increasingly …

Ghrelin is an acylated peptide that stimulates the release of growth hormone from the
pituitary. Ghrelin-producing neurons are located in the hypothalamus, whereas ghrelin …

Electrical microstimulation was used to study primary motor and premotor cortex in monkeys.
Each stimulation train was 500 ms in duration, approximating the time scale of normal …

Mammalian cerebral cortex is accepted as being critical for voluntary motor control, but what
functions depend on cortex is still unclear. Here we used rapid, reversible optogenetic …

The map of the body in the motor cortex is one of the most iconic images in neuroscience.
The map, however, is not perfect. It contains overlaps, reversals, and fractures. The complex …

Primates use a combination of smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements to stabilize the
retinal image of selected objects within the high-acuity region near the fovea. Pursuit has …

This review yields numerous conclusions.(1) Both unit recording and behavioral studies find
that current activates neurons (ie, cell bodies and axons) directly according to the square of …

Motor cortex in the primate brain was once thought to contain a simple map of the body's
muscles. Recent evidence suggests, however, that it operates at a radically more complex …

Frontal eye field (FEF) projections to posterior cortical areas were mapped by
autoradiography of tritiated amino acids (Leu, Pro) in six macaque monkeys. In three …
