Movement-related signals in sensory areas: roles in natural behavior
Recent studies have demonstrated prominent and widespread movement-related signals in
the brain of head-fixed mice, even in primary sensory areas. However, it is still unknown …

Vision during saccadic eye movements
The perceptual consequences of eye movements are manifold: Each large saccade is
accompanied by a drop of sensitivity to luminance-contrast, low-frequency stimuli, impacting …

Activity in primate visual cortex is minimally driven by spontaneous movements
Organisms process sensory information in the context of their own moving bodies, an idea
referred to as embodiment. This idea is important for developmental neuroscience, robotics …

Local plasticity rules can learn deep representations using self-supervised contrastive predictions
Learning in the brain is poorly understood and learning rules that respect biological
constraints, yet yield deep hierarchical representations, are still unknown. Here, we propose …

Encoding of 3D head orienting movements in the primary visual cortex
Animals actively sample the sensory world by generating complex patterns of movement that
evolve in three dimensions. Whether or how such movements affect neuronal activity in …

Vision, perception, and attention through the lens of microsaccades: mechanisms and implications
Microsaccades are small saccades. Neurophysiologically, microsaccades are generated
using similar brainstem mechanisms as larger saccades. This suggests that peri-saccadic …

Predictive sensing: the role of motor signals in sensory processing
JX Brooks, KE Cullen - Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and …, 2019 - Elsevier
The strategy of integrating motor signals with sensory information during voluntary behavior
is a general feature of sensory processing. It is required to distinguish externally applied …

Active sampling state dynamically enhances olfactory bulb odor representation
The olfactory bulb (OB) is the first site of synaptic odor information processing, yet a wealth
of contextual and learned information has been described in its activity. To investigate the …

Inferring visual space from ultra-fine extra-retinal knowledge of gaze position
It has long been debated how humans resolve fine details and perceive a stable visual
world despite the incessant fixational motion of their eyes. Current theories assume these …

Towards building a more complex view of the lateral geniculate nucleus: Recent advances in understanding its role
The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) has often been treated in the past as a linear filter that
adds little to retinal processing of visual inputs. Here we review anatomical …
