Visual Control of Movement: The Circuits Which Link Visual to Motor Areas of the Brain with Special Reference to the Visual Input to the Pons and Cerebellum

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the neural basis of visually guided movement especially in relation to possible role pons and cerebellum. Visual input cerebellum from forebrain brainstem is relayed large part by way pontine nuclei. The presents a study receptive field properties antidromically identified corticopontine cells. . cells are sensitive multiple-spot targets moving specific directions over portions visual field. These consistent with visuomotor function for cortico–ponto–cerebellar pathway. dorsolateral nucleus have that similar superficial laminae superior colliculus. number prefer single-spot contrast preference medial receive their cortex.
