In addition to their well-known role in skeletal movements, the basal ganglia control
saccadic eye movements (saccades) by means of their connection to the superior colliculus …

Sleep researchers in different disciplines disagree about how fully dreaming can be
explained in terms of brain physiology. Debate has focused on whether REM sleep …

Several theories claim that dreaming is a random by-product of REM sleep physiology and
that it does not serve any natural function. Phenomenal dream content, however, is not as …

Predictive visual responses. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 1373–1383, 1997. Neurons in the lateral …

The recording of three-dimensional eye position has become the accepted standard in
oculomotor research. In this paper we review the mathematics underlying the representation …

Central vestibular syndromes may be classified according to the three major planes of action
of the vestibuloocular reflex, secondary to a lesional tone imbalance in either the horizontal …

1. Previous experiments have shown that visual neurons in the lateral intraparietal area
(LIP) respond predictively to stimuli outside their classical receptive fields when an …

Changing the direction of the line of sight is essential for the visual exploration of our
environment. When the head does not move, re-orientation of the visual axis is …

Experimental evidence indicates that the superior colliculus (SC) is important but neither
necessary nor sufficient to produce accurate saccadic eye movements. Furthermore both …
