Reversible inactivation of macaque dorsomedial frontal cortex: effects on saccades and fixations.
(Exp Brain Res, 1999-02)
Neural recording and electrical stimulation results suggest that the dorsomedial frontal
cortex (DMFC) of macaque is involved in oculomotor behavior. We reversibly inactivated
the DMFC using lidocaine and examined how saccadic ...
Kinematic and dynamic gait compensations resulting from knee instability in a rat model of osteoarthritis.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2012-04-17)
INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis (OA) results in pain and disability; however, preclinical
OA models often focus on joint-level changes. Gait analysis is one method used to
evaluate both preclinical OA models and OA patients. ...
Frontal eye field neurons assess visual stability across saccades.
(J Neurosci, 2012-02-22)
The image on the retina may move because the eyes move, or because something in the
visual scene moves. The brain is not fooled by this ambiguity. Even as we make saccades,
we are able to detect whether visual objects remain ...
Dynamic evolution of base composition: causes and consequences in avian phylogenomics.
(Mol Biol Evol, 2011-08)
Resolving the phylogenetic relationships among birds is a classical problem in systematics,
and this is particularly so when it comes to understanding the relationships among
Neoaves. Previous phylogenetic inference of birds ...
Microcircuits for attention.
(Neuron, 2007-07-05)
Researchers who study the neuronal basis of cognition face a paradox. If they extract
the brain, its cognitive functions cannot be assessed. On the other hand, the brain's
microcircuits are difficult to study in the intact ...
Convergent differential regulation of SLIT-ROBO axon guidance genes in the brains of vocal learners.
(J Comp Neurol, 2015-04-15)
Only a few distantly related mammals and birds have the trait of complex vocal learning,
which is the ability to imitate novel sounds. This ability is critical for speech
acquisition and production in humans, and is attributed ...
Signal transformations from cerebral cortex to superior colliculus for the generation of saccades.
(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 ...
The exon junction complex component Magoh controls brain size by regulating neural stem cell division.
(Nat Neurosci, 2010-05)
Brain structure and size require precise division of neural stem cells (NSCs), which
self-renew and generate intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) and neurons. The factors
that regulate NSCs remain poorly understood, and ...
Eye fields in the frontal lobes of primates.
(Brain Res Brain Res Rev, 2000-04)
Two eye fields have been identified in the frontal lobes of primates: one is situated
dorsomedially within the frontal cortex and will be referred to as the eye field within
the dorsomedial frontal cortex (DMFC); the other ...
A relationship between behavior, neurotrophin expression, and new neuron survival.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2000-07-18)
The high vocal center (HVC) controls song production in songbirds and sends a projection
to the robust nucleus of the archistriatum (RA) of the descending vocal pathway. HVC
receives new neurons in adulthood. Most of the ...
