Monkey posterior parietal cortex neurons antidromically activated from superior colliculus.
The connection between the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) and the superior colliculus (SC) was investigated by antidromically activating neurons within the lateral intraparietal (LIP) area with single-pulse stimulation delivered to the intermediate layers of the SC. To dissociate visual and saccade-related responses, the discharge properties of the identified efferent neurons were studied in t...

متن کاملBehavioral enhancement of visual responses of prestriate neurons of the rhesus monkey.
Neurons in the superior colliculus, striate cortex, frontal eye fields, and posterior parietal cortex of the monkey respond to visual stimuli. Many of these cells discharge more intensely to a stimulus when it is to be the target for a saccadic eye movement than when fixation is maintained. We have demonstrated that such enhancement of the visual response is also present for cells in prestriate...
متن کاملSpatial distribution and discharge characteristics of superior colliculus neurons antidromically activated from the omnipause region in monkey.
One proposed role of the superior colliculus (SC) in oculomotor control is to suppress or excite the activity of brain stem omnipause neurons (OPNs) to initiate or terminate saccades, respectively. Although connections from the SC to the OPNs have been demonstrated, the spatial distribution and discharge characteristics of the projecting neurons from the SC remain unknown. We mapped the spatial...
متن کاملProgression in neuronal processing for saccadic eye movements from parietal cortex area lip to superior colliculus.
Neurons in both the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) of the monkey parietal cortex and the intermediate layers of the superior colliculus (SC) are activated well in advance of the initiation of saccadic eye movements. To determine whether there is a progression in the covert processing for saccades from area LIP to SC, we systematically compared the discharge properties of LIP output neurons id...
