Journal ArticleDOI

Encoding of spatial location by posterior parietal neurons.

Richard A. Andersen, +2 more
- 25 Oct 1985 - 
TL;DR: The cortex of the inferior parietal lobule in primates is important for spatial perception and spatially oriented behavior and recordings of single neurons in this area in behaving monkeys showed that the visual sensitivity of the retinotopic receptive fields changes systematically with the angle of gaze.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corticocortical connections of anatomically and physiologically defined subdivisions within the inferior parietal lobule.

Richard A. Andersen, +3 more
- 01 Jun 1990 - 
TL;DR: The anatomical and functional organization of the inferior parietal lobule was investigated in macaque monkeys by using anterograde and retrograde anatomical tracing techniques and single cell recording techniques in awake, behaving monkeys.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tactile Perception in Adults with Autism: a Multidimensional Psychophysical Study

Carissa J. Cascio, +7 more
- 01 Jan 2008 - 
TL;DR: Normal perception along with certain areas of enhanced perception in autism are suggested, consistent with previous studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurons of area 7 activated by both visual stimuli and oculomotor behavior.

Richard A. Andersen, +2 more
- 01 Jan 1987 - 
TL;DR: P paradigms to separate the sensory and motor components of the neural activity are designed and it is found that the cells in this area respond to both sensory stimulation and motor behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative assessment of pleasant touch.

Gregory K Essick, +7 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: Questions are raised as to whether the body surface can be mapped affectively in a meaningful manner with a single stimulus and indeed whether pleasantness-to-touch can be viewed as a unidimensional construct.
