David E . Moorman and Carl R . Olson Macaque Supplementary Eye Field Object - Centered Location and Saccade Direction in Combination of Neuronal Signals Representing

Combination of neuronal signals representing object-centered location and saccade direction in macaque supplementary eye field.

Neurons in the macaque supplementary eye field (SEF) fire at different rates in conjunction with planning saccades in different directions. They also exhibit object-centered spatial selectivity, firing at different rates when the target of the saccade is at the left or right end of a horizontal bar. To compare the rate of incidence of the two kinds of signal, and to determine how they combine, ...

Combination of Neuronal Signals Representing Object - Centered Location and Saccade

Neurons in the macaque supplementary eye field (SEF) fire at different rates in conjunction with planning saccades in different directions. They also exhibit object-centered spatial selectivity, firing at different rates when the target of the saccade is at the left or right end of a horizontal bar.

Impact of experience on the representation of object-centered space in the macaque supplementary eye field.

Many neurons in the macaque supplementary eye field (SEF) exhibit object-centered spatial selectivity, firing at different rates when the monkey plans a saccade to the left or right end of a horizontal bar. Is this property natural to the SEF or is it a product of specialized training in the laboratory? To answer this question, we monitored the activity of single SEF neurons in two monkeys befo...

Macaque SEF neurons encode object-centered directions of eye movements regardless of the visual attributes of instructional cues.

Macaque SEF neurons encode object-centered directions of eye movements regardless of the visual attributes of instructional cues. Neurons in the supplementary eye field (SEF) of the macaque monkey exhibit object-centered direction selectivity in the context of a task in which a spot flashed on the right or left end of a sample bar instructs a monkey to make an eye movement to the right or left ...
