A cerebellar learning model of vestibulo-ocular reflex adaptation in wild-type and mutant mice.
(The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 2014-05)Mechanisms of cerebellar motor learning are still poorly understood. The standard Marr-Albus-Ito theory posits that learning involves plasticity at the parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapses under control of the climbing ... -
Activity of neurons in monkey globus pallidus during oculomotor behavior compared with that in substantia nigra pars reticulata.
(J Neurophysiol, 2010-04)The basal ganglia are a subcortical assembly of nuclei involved in many aspects of behavior. Three of the nuclei have high firing rates and inhibitory influences: the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), globus pallidus ... -
Chaos in percepts?
(Biol Cybern, 1994)Multistability in perceptual tasks has suggested that the mechanisms underlying our percepts might be modeled as nonlinear, deterministic systems that exhibit chaotic behavior. We present evidence supporting this view, obtaining ... -
Distribution of eye position information in the monkey inferior colliculus.
(Journal of neurophysiology, 2012-02)The inferior colliculus (IC) is thought to have two main subdivisions, a central region that forms an important stop on the ascending auditory pathway and a surrounding shell region that may play a more modulatory role. ... -
Drivers from the deep: the contribution of collicular input to thalamocortical processing.
(Prog Brain Res, 2005)A traditional view of the thalamus is that it is a relay station which receives sensory input and conveys this information to cortex. This sensory input determines most of the properties of first order thalamic neurons, ... -
Exploring the role of the substantia nigra pars reticulata in eye movements.
(Neuroscience, 2011-12-15)Experiments that demonstrated a role for the substantia nigra in eye movements have played an important role in our understanding of the function of the basal ganglia in behavior more broadly. In this review we explore more ... -
Looking at the ventriloquist: visual outcome of eye movements calibrates sound localization.
(PloS one, 2013-01)A general problem in learning is how the brain determines what lesson to learn (and what lessons not to learn). For example, sound localization is a behavior that is partially learned with the aid of vision. This process ... -
Looking past the model species: diversity in gaze-following skills across primates.
(Curr Opin Neurobiol, 2009-02)Primates must navigate complex social landscapes in their daily lives: gathering information from and about others, competing with others for food and mates, and cooperating to obtain rewards as well. Gaze-following often ... -
The acquisition of abstract words by young infants.
(Cognition, 2013-06)Young infants' learning of words for abstract concepts like 'all gone' and 'eat,' in contrast to their learning of more concrete words like 'apple' and 'shoe,' may follow a relatively protracted developmental course. We ...
