Basal ganglia circuits for reward value–guided behavior
The basal ganglia are equipped with inhibitory and disinhibitory mechanisms that enable a
subject to choose valuable objects and actions. Notably, a value can be determined flexibly …

Probing basal ganglia functions by saccade eye movements
The basal ganglia (BG) are a group of subcortical structures involved in diverse functions,
such as motor, cognition and emotion. However, the BG do not control these functions …

[HTML][HTML] Separate, causal roles of the caudate in saccadic choice and execution in a perceptual decision task
In contrast to the well-established roles of the striatum in movement generation and value-
based decisions, its contributions to perceptual decisions lack direct experimental support …

Electrical microstimulation of the pulvinar biases saccade choices and reaction times in a time-dependent manner
AU Dominguez-Vargas, L Schneider… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
The pulvinar complex is interconnected extensively with brain regions involved in spatial
processing and eye movement control. Recent inactivation studies have shown that the …

[HTML][HTML] The relationship between saccades and locomotion
Human locomotion involves a complex interplay among multiple brain regions and depends
on constant feedback from the visual system. We summarize here the current understanding …

[HTML][HTML] Preparatory neural networks are impaired in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder during the antisaccade task
Adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often display executive function
impairments, particularly in inhibitory control. The antisaccade task, which measures …

Dissociable effects of dopamine on learning and performance within sensorimotor striatum
Striatal dopamine is an important modulator of current behavior, as seen in the rapid and
dramatic effects of dopamine replacement therapy in Parkinson disease (PD). Yet there is …

Neural mechanisms underlying robust target selection in response to microstimulation of the oculomotor system
Despite its prevalence in studying the causal roles of different brain circuits in cognitive
processes, electrical microstimulation often results in inconsistent behavioral effects. These …

Pathways for Naturalistic Looking Behavior in Primate II. Superior Colliculus Integrates Parallel Top-down and Bottom-up Inputs
Volitional signals for gaze control are provided by multiple parallel pathways converging on
the midbrain superior colliculus (SC), whose deeper layers output to the brainstem gaze …

Individual differences in impulsivity predict anticipatory eye movements
Impulsivity is the tendency to act without forethought. It is a personality trait commonly used
in the diagnosis of many psychiatric diseases. In clinical practice, impulsivity is estimated …
