Eye movements during rapid pointing under risk
We recorded saccadic eye movements during visually-guided rapid pointing movements under risk. We intended to determine whether saccadic end points are necessarily tied to the goals of rapid pointing movements or whether, when the visual features of a display and the goals of a pointing movement are different, saccades are driven by low-level features of the visual stimulus. Subjects pointed at...
متن کاملRapid eye movements during the paradoxical sleep of rabbits.
It is generally accepted that rapid eye movements (REM) are the most characteristic phenomenon of paradoxical sleep among birds and mammals. This is the reason why Dement and Kleitman (1957) who first described this kind of sleep, called it REM-sleep. The occurrence of REM during paradoxical sleep is fairly well described in humans (Mouret and Jeanne~od 1964, Gabersek and Scherrer 1969), monkey...
متن کاملExtraocular muscle activity, rapid eye movements and the development of active and quiet sleep.
Rapid eye movements (REMs), traditionally measured using the electrooculogram (EOG), help to characterize active sleep in adults. In early infancy, however, they are not clearly expressed. Here we measured extraocular muscle activity in infant rats at 3 days of age (P3), P8 and P14-15 in order to assess the ontogeny of REMs and their relationship with other forms of sleep-related phasic activit...
متن کاملRapid eye movements, muscle twitches and sawtooth waves in the sleep of narcoleptic patients and controls.
Seventeen unmedicated patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy and 17 age- and sex-matched controls were recorded polygraphically for 3 consecutive nights. Rapid eye movements (REMs), m. mentalis twitches and sawtooth waves in the EEG were visually scored. REM and twitch densities during REM sleep were significantly higher in the patients than in the controls. The distribution pattern of REMs and twi...
متن کاملHow to make an eye.
The eye is an organ of such remarkable complexity and apparently flawless design that it presents a challenge to both evolutionary biologists trying to explain its phylogenetic origins, and developmental biologists hoping to understand its formation during ontogeny. Since the discovery that the transcription factor Pax6 plays a crucial role in specifying the eye throughout the animal kingdom, b...
