Dynamic encoding of movement direction in motor cortical neurons.

2 Nov 2009 When we perform a skilled movement such as reaching for an object, we can make use of prior information, for example about the location of the object in space. This helps us to prepare the movement, and we gain improved accuracy and speed during ... Read more...

Relationship between neural responses and visual grouping in the monkey parietal cortex.

19 Oct 2009 Visual grouping through the binding of multiple discrete elements is an important component of object perception, and neurological studies have shown that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in that process. To study the neural ... Read more...

Direction-specific disruption of subcortical visual behavior and receptive fields in mice lacking the beta2 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.

12 Oct 2009 Retinotopic mapping is a basic feature of visual system organization, but its role in processing visual information is unknown. Mutant mice lacking the beta2 subunit of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor have imprecise maps in both visual cortex (V1) ... Read more...
