Posterior parietal cortex neurons encode target motion in world-centered coordinates

Neuron

Abstract

The motion areas of posterior parietal cortex extract information on visual motion for perception as well as for the guidance of movement. It is usually assumed that neurons in posterior parietal cortex represent visual motion relative to the retina. Current models describing action guided by moving objects work successfully based on this assumption. However, here we show that the pursuit-related responses of a distinct group of neurons in area MST of monkeys are at odds with this view. Rather than signaling object image motion on the retina, they represent object motion in world-centered coordinates. This representation may simplify the coordination of object-directed action and ego motion-invariant visual perception.

Brain developing: Influences & Outcomes

This feed focuses on influences that affect the developing brain including genetics, fetal development, prenatal care, and gene-environment interactions. Here is the latest research in this field.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
