Cognitive functions and neurodevelopmental disorders involving the prefrontal cortex and mediodorsal thalamus

Z Ouhaz, H Fleming, AS Mitchell - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2018 - frontiersin.org
The mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus (MD) has been implicated in executive functions
(such as planning, cognitive control, working memory, and decision-making) because of its …

Feature-selective responses in macaque visual cortex follow eye movements during natural vision

W **ao, S Sharma, G Kreiman, MS Livingstone - Nature neuroscience, 2024 - nature.com
In natural vision, primates actively move their eyes several times per second via saccades. It
remains unclear whether, during this active looking, visual neurons exhibit classical …

The intersection between the oculomotor and hippocampal memory systems: empirical developments and clinical implications

JD Ryan, K Shen, ZX Liu - Annals of the New York Academy of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Decades of cognitive neuroscience research has shown that where we look is intimately
connected to what we remember. In this article, we review findings from human and …

Tunability of the topological nodal-line semimetal phase in -type materials ()

MM Hosen, K Dimitri, I Belopolski, P Maldonado… - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
The discovery of a topological nodal-line (TNL) semimetal phase in ZrSiS has invigorated
the study of other members of this family. Here, we present a comparative electronic …

Saccade preparation reshapes sensory tuning

HH Li, A Barbot, M Carrasco - Current Biology, 2016 - cell.com
Human observers make large rapid eye movements—saccades—to bring behaviorally
relevant information into the fovea, where spatial resolution is high. In some visual tasks [1 …

Presaccadic attention sharpens visual acuity

Y Kwak, NM Hanning, M Carrasco - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Visual perception is limited by spatial resolution, the ability to discriminate fine details.
Spatial resolution not only declines with eccentricity but also differs for polar angle locations …

Corollary discharge contributions to perceptual continuity across saccades

RH Wurtz - Annual review of vision science, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Our vision depends upon shifting our high-resolution fovea to objects of interest in the visual
field. Each saccade displaces the image on the retina, which should produce a chaotic …

Interhemispheric transfer of working memories

SL Brincat, JA Donoghue, MK Mahnke, S Kornblith… - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
Visual working memory (WM) storage is largely independent between the left and right
visual hemifields/cerebral hemispheres, yet somehow WM feels seamless. We studied how …

Deep predictive learning in neocortex and pulvinar

RC O'Reilly, JL Russin, M Zolfaghar… - Journal of Cognitive …, 2021 - direct.mit.edu
How do humans learn from raw sensory experience? Throughout life, but most obviously in
infancy, we learn without explicit instruction. We propose a detailed biological mechanism …

Oculomotor prediction: a window into the psychotic mind

KN Thakkar, VA Diwadkar, M Rolfs - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2017 - cell.com
Psychosis–an impaired contact with reality–is a hallmark of schizophrenia. Many psychotic
symptoms are associated with disruptions in agency–the sense that 'I'cause my actions. A …
