Early head movements elicited by visual stimuli or collicular electrical stimulation in the cat
During the course of previous recordings of visually-triggered gaze shifts in the head-unrestrained cat, we occasionally observed small head movements which preceded the initiation of the saccadic eye/head gaze shift toward a visual target. These early head movements (EHMs) were directed toward the target and occurred with a probability varying between animals from 0.4% to 16.4% (mean=5.2%, n=1...
متن کاملMovements resembling orientation or avoidance elicited by electrical stimulation of the superior colliculus in rats.
Some studies have reported that stimulation of the superior colliculus in rats produces orienting responses, as it does in a number of species. However, other studies have reported movements resembling avoidance and escape, which are not characteristic of collicular stimulation in other mammals. This apparent discrepancy was investigated by systematically recording the effects on head and body ...
متن کاملEye movements evoked by collicular stimulation in the alert monkey.
Electrical stimulation of the superior colliculi of alert, behaving monkeys evoked all-or-nothing saccades whose amplitude and direction were independent of stimulus parametersand depth within the colliculus. They were also independent of initial eye position and werethus not goal-directed. Across the colliculus, the saccades were small (1”) rostrally, large (50”)caudally with u...
متن کاملNeural responses elicited by electrical stimulation of the retina.
PURPOSE To study electrically elicited responses (EERs) that are produced by epiretinal stimulation of normal and degenerated retina. METHODS Three biological models of retinal degeneration are compared: normal and rd1 mouse, normal and RCD1 dog, and human with retinitis pigmentosa. In mouse, epiretinal stimulation was accomplished by means of a wire inserted in the vitreous cavity, and singl...
متن کاملFunctional reorganization of primary visual cortex induced by electrical stimulation in the cat
Compared to the high degree of plasticity observed in a juvenile, mature sensory cortices have long been held to be immutable but, recently, researchers have suggested some plasticity persists in the mature cortex. Cortical reorganization has particular saliency to the development of a cortically based, sensory neuroprosthesis, which will chronically evoke activity through electrical stimulatio...
