Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2011 Gap and overlap tasks are widely used to promote automatic versus controlled saccades. This study examines the hypothesis that the right posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is differently involved in the two tasks. Twelve healthy students participated in the

Saccadic momentum and facilitation of return saccades contribute to an optimal foraging strategy. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2013 The interest in saccadic IOR is funneled by the hypothesis that it serves a clear functional purpose in the selection of fixation points: the facilitation of foraging. In this study, we arrive at a different interpretation of saccadic IOR. First, we find

Prescribing competence: The pros and cons of different methods for assessment
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Evaluating a medical graduate’s competence in rational prescribing is challenging. With the aim to guide and inspire teachers, this narrative review explores different methods that can be used to assess prescribing competence. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and thus a mix of different assessment methods is needed throughout the ...

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Aims Fazamorexant is a dual orexin receptor antagonist being developed for the treatment of insomnia. This study aims to determine the dose‐exposure‐response relationship of single‐dose fazamorexant vs. zolpidem in young adult and elderly healthy Chinese volunteers. Methods This single‐centre, randomized, double‐blind, double‐dummy, placebo‐ and active‐

Voluntary Spatial Attention has Different Effects on Voluntary and Reflexive Saccades
The Scientific World Journal, 2003 Although numerous studies have investigated the relationship between saccadic eye movements and spatial attention, one fundamental issue remains controversial.

The role of the ventrolateral frontal cortex in inhibitory oculomotor control [PDF]
, 2007 It has been proposed that the inferior/ventrolateral frontal cortex plays a critical role in the inhibitory control of action during cognitive tasks.However, the contribution of this region to the control of eye movements has not been clearly established.

What works in internal alternative provision? A salutogenic analysis
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Schools across England are setting up ‘internal alternative provision’ to meet the social, emotional and mental health needs of increasing numbers of pupils at risk of suspension, exclusion and absence. However, there is little guidance about what good practice looks like.

Monetary reward speeds up voluntary conditional saccades
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 Past studies have shown that reward contingency is critical for sensorimotor learning, and reward expectation speeds up saccades in animals. Whether monetary reward speeds up saccades in human remains unknown.

Saccadic latency in amblyopia. [PDF]
, 2016 We measured saccadic latencies in a large sample (total n = 459) of individuals with amblyopia or risk factors for amblyopia, e.g., strabismus or anisometropia, and normal control subjects.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
