A corollary discharge for perceptual stability
Wurtz, RH; Sommer, MA (PERCEPTION, 2006) -
A screw microdrive for adjustable chronic unit recording in monkeys.
Nichols, AM; Ruffner, TW; Sommer, MA; Wurtz, RH (J Neurosci Methods, 1998-06-01)A screw microdrive is described that attaches to the grid system used for recording single neurons from brains of awake behaving monkeys. Multiple screwdrives can be mounted on a grid over a single cranial opening. This ... -
Composition and topographic organization of signals sent from the frontal eye field to the superior colliculus.
Sommer, MA; Wurtz, RH (J Neurophysiol, 2000-04)The frontal eye field (FEF) and superior colliculus (SC) contribute to saccadic eye movement generation, and much of the FEF's oculomotor influence may be mediated through the SC. The present study examined the composition ... -
Frontal eye field neurons orthodromically activated from the superior colliculus.
Sommer, MA; Wurtz, RH (J Neurophysiol, 1998-12)Frontal eye field neurons orthodromically activated from the superior colliculus. J. Neurophysiol. 80: 3331-3333, 1998. Anatomical studies have shown that the frontal eye field (FEF) and superior colliculus (SC) of monkeys ... -
Frontal eye field sends delay activity related to movement, memory, and vision to the superior colliculus.
Sommer, MA; Wurtz, RH (J Neurophysiol, 2001-04)Many neurons within prefrontal cortex exhibit a tonic discharge between visual stimulation and motor response. This delay activity may contribute to movement, memory, and vision. We studied delay activity sent from the frontal ... -
Multielectrode evidence for spreading activity across the superior colliculus movement map.
Port, NL; Sommer, MA; Wurtz, RH (J Neurophysiol, 2000-07)The monkey superior colliculus (SC) has maps for both visual input and movement output in the superficial and intermediate layers, respectively, and activity on these maps is generally related to visual stimuli only in one ... -
Signal transformations from cerebral cortex to superior colliculus for the generation of saccades.
Wurtz, RH; Sommer, MA; Paré, M; Ferraina, S (Vision Res, 2001)The ability of primates to make rapid and accurate saccadic eye movements for exploring the natural world is based on a neuronal system in the brain that has been studied extensively and is known to include multiple brain ... -
Single Neurons and Primate Behavior
Sommer, MA; Wurtz, RH (Methods in Mind, 2009) -
The Dialogue Between Cerebral Cortex and Superior Colliculus: Implications for Saccadic Target Selection and Corollary Discharge
Sommer, MA; Wurtz, RH (The Visual Neurosciences, 2003) -
The Dialogue between Cerebral Cortex and Superior Colliculus: Multiple Ascending Pathways for Corollary Discharge
Sommer, Marc A; Wurtz, RH (The New Visual Neurosciences, 2014) -
The frontal eye field sends predictively remapped visual signals to the superior colliculus
Sommer, MA; Wurtz, RH (Journal of Vision, 2003-12-01)We perceive a stable visual world even though saccades often move our retinas. One way the brain may achieve a stable visual percept is through predictive remapping of visual receptive fields: just before a saccade, the ... -
The Superior Colliculus and the Cognitive Control of Movement
Wurtz, RH; Basso, MA; Paré, M; Sommer, MA (The New Cognitive Neurosciences, 2000)
