Memory guided saccade deficit after caudate nucleus lesion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of the caudate nucleus in ocular motor control is not well determined in humans. Eye movements were recorded from a 45 year old man with infarctions involving bilaterally the body of the caudate nucleus, with a greater extent on the left side. The patient exhibited a pattern of eye movement abnormalities in which a delay dependent decrease of accuracy of memory guided saccades predominated. By contrast, memory guided pointing was normal. It is concluded that the body of the caudate nucleus participates in a spatial short term memory network devoted to eye movements.

Eye movements in monkeys with local dopamine depletion in the caudate nucleus. II. Deficits in voluntary saccades.
Unilateral infusion of MPTP into the monkey caudate nucleus produced deficits in task-specific saccades, in addition to the deficits in spontaneous eye movements (preceding article). We trained three monkeys to perform two kinds of saccade tasks: (1) saccade task for eliciting visually guided saccades and (2) delayed saccade task for eliciting memory-guided saccades. After the MPTP infusion, do...
متن کاملFunctional properties of monkey caudate neurons. I. Activities related to saccadic eye movements.
1. We recorded single cell activities in the caudate nucleus of the monkeys trained to perform a series of visuomotor tasks. In the first part of this paper, we summarize the types and locations of neurons in the monkey caudate nucleus. In the second part, we report the characteristics of neurons related to saccadic eye movements. 2. Neurons were classified into two types in terms of spontaneou...

The basal ganglia, especially the ventral striatum, have been implicated in control of action based on motivation1,2,3,4. A prevalent view is that nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons carry reinforcement signals to modulate the cortico-striatal signal transmissions5,6,7. However, it is still unknown how such reinforcement signals affect the output of the striatum in relation to behavior. To answe...
متن کاملImmediate changes in anticipatory activity of caudate neurons associated with reversal of position-reward contingency.
The primate caudate nucleus plays a crucial role in transforming cognitive/motivational information into eye movement signals. A subset of caudate projection neurons fire before a visual target's onset. This anticipatory activity is sensitive to position-reward contingencies and correlates with saccade latency, which is shorter toward a rewarded position. We recorded single-unit activity of cau...
متن کاملBrief Communication Neural Correlates of Rewarded and Unrewarded Eye Movements in the Primate Caudate Nucleus
The prospect of immediate reward elicits goal-oriented behavior. However, animals often have to perform actions that do not immediately lead to reward in the pursuit of a long-term goal. Here we identify neural activity in monkey caudate nucleus that specifically correlates with rewarded and unrewarded eye movements. The monkey performed a visually guided saccade task in which only one position...
