چکیده

In order to investigate the contribution of the vestibular system to spatial orientation, we studied memory-guided saccades in three conditions: visual-memory guided saccades (ViC), saccades to the remembered spatiotopic position of a visual target, after whole-body rotation (SVeC) and saccades to the remembered retinotopic position of a visual target, after whole-body rotation (RVeC). Visual feedback presented after each trial allowed eye position correction. The error was larger in SVeC, but the performance improved throughout the experiment (learning) in that condition only. As learning occurred over the first four trials, we omitted these trials from the average computation, and the significant difference between the conditions disappeared. It is concluded that vestibular information does contribute to update the internal spatial representation of visual information when a visual feedback is provided.

Evaluating the correspondence between face-, scene-, and object-selectivity and retinotopic organization within lateral occipitotemporal cortex

The organization of human lateral occipitotemporal cortex (lOTC) has been characterized largely according to two distinct principles: retinotopy and category-selectivity. Whereas category-selective regions were originally thought to exist beyond retinotopic maps, recent evidence highlights overlap. Here, we combined detailed mapping of retinotopy, using population receptive fields (pRF), and ca...

Gogo Receptor Contributes to Retinotopic Map Formation and Prevents R1-6 Photoreceptor Axon Bundling

BACKGROUND Topographic maps form the basis of neural processing in sensory systems of both vertebrate and invertebrate species. In the Drosophila visual system, neighboring R1-R6 photoreceptor axons innervate adjacent positions in the first optic ganglion, the lamina, and thereby represent visual space as a continuous map in the brain. The mechanisms responsible for the establishment of retinot...

Population Receptive Field Estimation Reveals New Retinotopic Maps in Human Subcortex.

The human subcortex contains multiple nuclei that govern the transmission of information to and among cortical areas. In the visual domain, these nuclei are organized into retinotopic maps. Because of their small size, these maps have been difficult to precisely measure using phase-encoded functional magnetic resonance imaging, particularly in the eccentricity dimension. Using instead the popul...

Imaging retinotopic maps in the human brain

A quarter-century ago visual neuroscientists had little information about the number and organization of retinotopic maps in human visual cortex. The advent of functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a non-invasive, spatially-resolved technique for measuring brain activity, provided a wealth of data about human retinotopic maps. Just as there are differences amongst non-human primate maps,...
