Neurophysiology of the saccadic system: The reticular formation
2022, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :This is one of the most explicit deficits revealed so far by lesions of the frontal eye fields. While lesions of the superior colliculi or frontal eye fields create mild, transient disturbances, there is a large effect when they are combined (Schiller et al., 1979, 1980). It is not important whether the lesions are simultaneous or serial.
Modifying cognition and behavior with electrical microstimulation: Implications for cognitive prostheses
2014, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :However, saccades are only minimally disrupted by lesioning the FEF or superior colliculus individually. Only combined lesions of both structures result in an impaired ability to make saccades (Schiller et al., 1979). These studies suggest that the circuitry for voluntary saccades is redundant.
Mapping cortical activity elicited with electrical microstimulation using fMRI in the macaque
2005, NeuronCitation Excerpt :The idea that microstimulation-induced synchronous activity is decoded by postsynaptic targets is supported by the recent results of Brecht and colleagues (Brecht et al., 2004). They replicated the dual electrode stimulation experiments of Robinson and Schiller in the superior colliculus of the cat (Robinson and Fuchs, 1969; Robinson 1972; Schiller et al., 1979) with an additional twist. They introduced temporal offsets between the two stimulating electrodes and found that offsets as small as 5 ms resulted in different patterns of eye movements (vector summation instead of vector averaging).
Neural mechanisms underlying target selection with saccadic eye movements
2005, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :This is not a trivial task. This fact is highlighted by the observation that when two or more sites in the SC or the FEF are electrically stimulated simultaneously, the saccade generated is a vector average of the individually triggered sites (Robinson, 1972; Schiller et al., 1979b). Yet when visual targets are placed at the receptive field of cells at these same sites, the organism will select one target and make an accurate eye movement to it.
