Gaze-dependent visual neurons in area V3A of monkey prestriate cortex
TL;DR: The present results show that V3A gaze-dependent neurons combine information about the position of the eye in the orbit with that of a restricted retinal locus (their receptive field), and it is suggested that they might directly encode spatial locations of the animal's field of view in a head frame of reference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eye position influence on the parieto-occipital area PO (V6) of the macaque monkey.
TL;DR: The presence in area PO (V6) of real‐position cells together with a high percentage of eye position‐sensitive neurons, most of them visual in nature, suggests that this cortical area is engaged in the spatial encoding of extrapersonal visual space.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parietal neurons encoding spatial locations in craniotopic coordinates
TL;DR: The existence in the monkey parietal cortex of cells (called “real-position” cells) whose receptive field does not systematically move with gaze is reported, which directly encode visual space in craniotopic instead of retinotopic coordinates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional demarcation of a border between areas V6 and V6A in the superior parietal gyrus of the macaque monkey
TL;DR: The physiological and connectional estimates of the border between V6 and V6A were found to coincide, at least within the range of individual variation between hemispheres, and V5 was found to be distinct from V6 in a number of its physiological properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arm movement-related neurons in the visual area V6A of the macaque superior parietal lobule
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that arm movement-related neural discharge started before the onset of arm movement, often before the earliest electromyographic activity, although the discharge is probably supported by proprioceptive and tactile inputs it is not fully dependent on them.
