LIP memory guided saccade

Stimulus On Saccade

Stimulus appears outside of RF

Saccade moves RF to stimulus location

Single step task

Spatial updating or remapping

The brain combines visual and corollary discharge signals to create a representation of space that takes our eye movements into account

LIP Summary

Area LIP neurons encode attended spatial locations.

LIP Summary

Area LIP neurons encode attended spatial locations.

The spatial representation of an attended location is remapped when the eyes move.

LIP Summary

Area LIP neurons encode attended spatial locations.

The spatial representation of an attended location is remapped when the eyes move.

Remapping is initiated by a corollary discharge of the eye movement command.

LIP Summary

Area LIP neurons encode attended spatial locations.

The spatial representation of an attended location is remapped when the eyes move.

Remapping is initiated by a corollary discharge of the eye movement command.

Remapping produces a representation that is oculocentric: a location is represented in the coordinates of the movement needed to acquire the location.

Remapping is initiated by a corollary discharge of the eye movement command.

Remapping allows humans and monkeys to perform a spatial memory task accurately.

Extrastriate Summary

Remapping occurs at early stages of the visual hierarchy.

Corollary discharge has an impact far back into the system.

Extrastriate Summary

Remapping occurs at early stages of the visual hierarchy.

Corollary discharge has an impact far back into the system.

Remapping implies widespread connectivity in which many neurons have rapid access to information well beyond the classical receptive field.

What is the brain circuit that produces remapping?

The obvious pathway for visual signals:forebrain commissures

Are the forebrain commissures necessary for updating visual signals across the vertical meridian?

Are the forebrain commissures necessary for updating spatial information across the vertical meridian?

Split Brain Monkey Summary

The forebrain commissures normally transmit remapped visual signals across the vertical meridian but they are not required.
