The primate striatum: neuronal activity in relation to spatial attention versus motor preparation

The European Journal of Neuroscience
D Boussaoud, I Kermadi

Abstract

The primate basal ganglia are known to be involved in the initiation and control of visually guided movements. However, the precise role of these structures is not clear, partly because most neurophysiological studies have not dissociated neuronal activity related to visuomotor processing from that reflecting other aspects of behaviour, such as shifts of spatial attention. Moreover, the way the basal ganglia function together with the frontal cortex during movement initiation and execution is still a matter of debate. In an effort to clarify these issues, we recorded single neurons from the striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen) in two rhesus monkeys trained to perform a conditional visuomotor task, and compared their properties with those of the frontal cortex. The experimental paradigm was designed to distinguish neuronal activity associated with shifts of attention from that reflecting motor preparation. In a given trial, an identical visual stimulus could serve as a cue for the reorientation of spatial attention or as a cue for establishing a motor set depending on when it occurred during that trial. Additional aspects of the paradigm were designed to identify neurons whose activity differed when various stimulus configurat...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
