Saccadic eye movements after extremely short reaction times in the monkey

Brain Research
B Fischer, R Boch

Abstract

Monkeys were trained to change their direction of gaze from one point (fixation point) to another (target). If the fixation point was extinguished at the same time when the new target occurred the saccadic reaction times (SRT) were in the order of 200 ms. If the fixation point disappeared 150-250 ms before the new target occurred (gap with no visible stimulus) monkeys made regular saccades after shorter reaction times of about 140 ms. In addition animals in the gap situation made saccades that had reaction times of no more than 70-80 ms measured from the onset of the new target (Express-Saccades). The reaction times of the E-saccades have standard deviations of only +/- 3 ms. E-saccades occurred with a frequency of up to 80% for gaps of 200-240 ms. If the gap was shorter than 180 ms increasingly more regular saccades were made with reaction times of 140-160 ms. With gap duration decreasing from 140 ms to zero all saccades were regular with SRTs increasing linearly to more than 200 ms. In one animal almost all E-saccades fell short and were corrected after less than 250 ms depending on the size of the error: large errors were corrected faster than small ones.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
