Visual input to the visuomotor mechanisms of the monkey's parietal lobe

Visual input to the visuomotor mechanisms of the monkey's parietal lobe

T C Yin et al. Science. .

Abstract

A newly identified class of neurons of the parietal cortex, studied in waking monkeys (Macaca mulatta), is activated by visual stimuli, perhaps via the retino-collicular visual pathway. This afferent input is thought to provide the visual cues activating the visuomotor mechanisms of the parietal lobe for the direction of visual attention.
