Although much is known about volitional and reflexive smooth eye movements individually, much less is known about how they are coordinated. It is hypothesized that separate cortico-ponto-cerebellar loops subserve these different types of smooth eye movements. Specifically, the MT-MST-DLPN pathway is thought to be critical for ocular following eye movements, whereas the FEF-NRTP pathway is under...

A reflexive graph is a simple undirected graph where a loop has been added at each vertex. If G and H are reflexive graphs and U ⊆ V (H), then a vertex map f : U → V (G) is called nonexpansive if for every two vertices x, y ∈ U , the distance between f(x) and f(y) in G is at most that between x and y in H . A reflexive graph G is said to have the extension property (EP) if for every reflexive g...

In two recent papers [9, 10] we answered a question raised in the book by Eklof and Mekler [7, p. 455, Problem 12] under the set theoretical hypothesis of ♦א1 which holds in many models of set theory, respectively of the special continuum hypothesis (CH). The objects are reflexive modules over countable principal ideal domains R, which are not fields. Following H. Bass [1] an R-module G is refl...

Recent behavioral data have shown that central nonpredictive gaze direction triggers reflexive shifts of attention toward the gazed-at location (e.g., Friesen & Kingstone, 1998). Friesen and Kingstone suggested that this reflexive orienting effect is unique to biologically relevant stimuli. Three experiments were conducted to test this proposal by comparing the attentional orienting produced by...

In this note, it is proved that over a commutative noetherian henselian non-Gorenstein local ring there are infinitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable totally reflexive modules, if there is a nonfree cyclic totally reflexive module.

The concept of σ-reflexive semigroups is due to Chacron and Thierrin in 1972. In the present paper we discuss σ-reflexive semigroups with apartness. We prove some fundamental properties of these semigroups.

There are three equivalent definitions of dimension for partially ordered sets. When generating these three definitions to ~'-dimension over an arbitrary class of orders ~, the three definitions diverge. We compare these three definitions and determine certain requirements under which they are equivalent.

Patients with Parkinson disease often have orthostatic hypotension. Neurocirculatory abnormalities underlying orthostatic hypotension might reflect levodopa treatment. Sixty-six Parkinson disease patients (36 with orthostatic hypotension, 15 off and 21 on levodopa; 30 without orthostatic hypotension) had tests of reflexive cardiovagal gain (decrease in interbeat interval per unit decrease in sy...

A wealth of data indicate that central spatially nonpredictive eyes and arrows trigger very similar reflexive spatial orienting, although the effects of eyes may be more strongly reflexive (e.g., Friesen, Ristic, & Kingstone, 2004). Pratt and Hommel (2003) recently reported that the orienting effect for arrows is sensitive to arbitrary cue-target color contingencies; for example, an attentional...
