Movement-related signals in sensory areas: roles in natural behavior

PRL Parker, MA Brown, MC Smear, CM Niell - Trends in neurosciences, 2020 - cell.com
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

P Binda, MC Morrone - Annual review of vision science, 2018 - annualreviews.org
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

BC Talluri, I Kang, A Lazere, KR Quinn, N Kaliss… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com

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

ZM Hafed, CY Chen, X Tian - Frontiers in systems neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Microsaccades are small saccades. Neurophysiologically, microsaccades are generated
using similar brainstem mechanisms as larger saccades. This suggests that peri-saccadic …

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

M Ghodrati, SM Khaligh-Razavi, SR Lehky - Progress in Neurobiology, 2017 - Elsevier
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 …
