Pathways for Naturalistic Looking Behavior in Primate II. Superior Colliculus Integrates Parallel Top-down and Bottom-up Inputs

R Veale, M Takahashi - Neuroscience, 2024 - Elsevier
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 …

Object recognition in primates: what can early visual areas contribute?

C Quaia, RJ Krauzlis - Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2024 - frontiersin.org
Introduction If neuroscientists were asked which brain area is responsible for object
recognition in primates, most would probably answer infero-temporal (IT) cortex. While IT is …

Individual differences in face salience and rapid face saccades

MD Broda, P Borovska, B de Haas - Journal of Vision, 2024 - jov.arvojournals.org
Humans saccade to faces in their periphery faster than to other types of objects. Previous
research has highlighted the potential importance of the upper face region in this …

The olivary input to the cerebellum dissociates sensory events from movement plans

JS Pi, MA Fakharian, P Hage… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - pnas.org
Neurons in the inferior olive are thought to anatomically organize the Purkinje cells (P-cells)

New perspective on the role of complex spikes

J Pi - 2024 - jscholarship.library.jhu.edu
Our movement requires continual adaptation throughout our lives. The cerebellum is thought
to be the site of this adaptation. One of the major inputs to this structure is climbing fiber that …
