Memory and decision making in the frontal cortex during visual motion processing for smooth pursuit eye movements.

9 Jun 2009 Cortical motor areas are thought to contribute "higher-order processing," but what that processing might include is unknown. Previous studies of the smooth pursuit-related discharge of supplementary eye field (SEF) neurons have not distinguished ... Read more...

Neuropharmacology of vision in goldfish: a review.

25 Sep 2008 The goldfish is one of the few animals exceptionally well analyzed in behavioral experiments and also in electrophysiological and neuroanatomical investigations of the retina. To get insight into the functional organization of the retina we studied ... Read more...

Arousal facilitates collision avoidance mediated by a looming sensitive visual neuron in a flying locust.

26 May 2008 Locusts have two large collision-detecting neurons, the descending contralateral movement detectors (DCMDs) that signal object approach and trigger evasive glides during flight. We sought to investigate whether vision for action, when the locust is ... Read more...
