Visual and eye movement functions of the posterior parietal cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Lesions of the posterior parietal area in humans produce interesting spatial-perceptual and spatial-behavioral deficits. Among the more important deficits observed are loss of spatial memories, problems representing spatial relations in models or ...

Superior sensation: superior colliculus participation in rat vibrissa system

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background The superior colliculus, usually considered a visuomotor structure, is anatomically positioned to perform sensorimotor transformations in other modalities.

Artificial Nervous Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
By drawing inspiration from biological neural hierarchies and the working mechanisms of plasticity, researchers have constructed a series of bionic devices, including sensory devices, synapse devices, and artificial neural systems. They committed to simulating and surpassing the biological information processing function, thereby realizing the ...

Cervical dystonia: a disorder of the midbrain network for covert attentional orienting.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2014
While the pathogenesis of cervical dystonia remains unknown, recent animal and clinical experimental studies have indicated its probable mechanisms. Abnormal temporal discrimination is a mediational endophenotype of cervical dystonia and informs new ...

Computational Models of Multisensory Integration with Recurrent Neural Networks: A Critical Review and Future Directions

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review outlines how recurrent neural networks model multisensory integration by capturing temporal and probabilistic features of sensory input. Key developments, challenges, and future directions are summarized, providing insights into biologically inspired AI. Multisensory integration (MSI) is a core brain function underlying perception, learning,

Vocal Premotor Activity in the Superior Colliculus [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2007
Chronic neural recordings were taken from the midbrain superior colliculus (SC) of echolocating bats while they were engaged in one of two distinct behavioral tasks: virtual target amplitude discrimination (VTAD) and real oscillating target tracking (ROTT). In the VTAD task, bats used a limited range of sonar call features to discriminate the amplitude

Dendritic and axonal targeting patterns of a genetically-specified class of retinal ganglion cells that participate in image-forming circuits. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundThere are numerous functional types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), each participating in circuits that encode a specific aspect of the visual scene.

Cuneiform Nucleus Stimulation Can Assist Gait Training to Promote Locomotor Recovery in Individuals With Incomplete Tetraplegia

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Impaired ability to induce stepping after incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) can limit the efficacy of locomotor training, often leaving patients wheelchair‐bound. The cuneiform nucleus (CNF), a key mesencephalic locomotor control center, modulates the activity of spinal locomotor centers via the reticulospinal tract.

Exploration of the functional consequences of fixational eye movements in the absence of a fovea. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A recent theory posits that ocular drifts of fixational eye movements serve to reformat the visual input of natural images, so that the power of the input image is equalized across a range of spatial frequencies.

The Search for Invertebrate Consciousness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
There is no agreement on whether any invertebrates are conscious and no agreement on a methodology that could settle the issue. How can the debate move forward?
