Chapter 23 Information transfer between sensory and motor networks

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the information transfer between sensory and motor networks. The structures of brain encode in various different formats. Sensorimotor transformations interface systems. They have two main tasks to solve. First, they must convert coding Second, fuse input signals establish a unified representation environment organism's action within it. fibers retinal ganglion cells form thick parallel bundle, called “optic tract,” from which branches run several recipient structures. cortical pathway is via thalamus primary visual cortex, or area V1. Other important pathways are those superior colliculus accessory optic system pretectum. Each cell transmits small-localized part image, known as its “receptive field.” discusses position limbs activity muscles; this “proprioceptive information” generated by spindle muscles.
