Brain Circuits for the Internal Monitoring of Movements by SOMMER, Marc A, WURTZ, Robert H

“…Each movement we make activates our own sensory receptors, thus causing a problem for the brain: the spurious, movement-related sensations must be…”

Corollary Discharge Contributions to Perceptual Continuity Across Saccades by Wurtz, Robert H

“…Our vision depends upon shifting our high-resolution fovea to objects of interest in the visual field. Each saccade displaces the image on the retina, which…”

From basic brain research to treating human brain disorders by Buffalo, Elizabeth A., Movshon, J. Anthony, Wurtz, Robert H.

“…The human brain is the most complex entity we know. Disorders of the human brain are embedded in this complexity. Potential advances in treating these…”

Influence of the thalamus on spatial visual processing in frontal cortex by Wurtz, Robert H, Sommer, Marc A

“…Each of our movements activates our own sensory receptors, and therefore keeping track of self-movement is a necessary part of analysing sensory input. One way…”

Using perturbations to identify the brain circuits underlying active vision by Wurtz, Robert H.

“…The visual and oculomotor systems in the brain have been studied extensively in the primate. Together, they can be regarded as a single brain system that…”

Functional identification of a pulvinar path from superior colliculus to cortical area MT by Berman, Rebecca A, Wurtz, Robert H

“…The idea of a second visual pathway, in which visual signals travel from brainstem to cortex via the pulvinar thalamus, has had considerable influence as an…”

Organization of Corollary Discharge Neurons in Monkey Medial Dorsal Thalamus by Cavanaugh, James, McAlonan, Kerry, Wurtz, Robert H

“…A corollary discharge (CD) is a copy of a neuronal command for movement sent to other brain regions to inform them of the impending movement. In monkeys, a…”

Optogenetic Inactivation Modifies Monkey Visuomotor Behavior by Cavanaugh, James, Monosov, Ilya E., McAlonan, Kerry, Berman, Rebecca, Smith, Mitchell K., Cao, Vania, Wang, Kuan H., Boyden, Edward S., Wurtz, Robert H.

“…A critical technique for understanding how neuronal activity contributes to behavior is determining whether perturbing it changes behavior. The advent of…”

Saccadic Corollary Discharge Underlies Stable Visual Perception by Cavanaugh, James, Berman, Rebecca A, Joiner, Wilsaan M, Wurtz, Robert H

“…Saccadic eye movements direct the high-resolution foveae of our retinas toward objects of interest. With each saccade, the image jumps on the retina, causing a…”

Signals conveyed in the pulvinar pathway from superior colliculus to cortical area MT by Berman, Rebecca A, Wurtz, Robert H

“…We previously established a functional pathway extending from the superficial layers of the superior colliculus (SC) through the inferior pulvinar (PI) to…”

A circuit for saccadic suppression in the primate brain by Berman, Rebecca A, Cavanaugh, James, McAlonan, Kerry, Wurtz, Robert H

“…Saccades should cause us to see a blur as the eyes sweep across a visual scene. Specific brain mechanisms prevent this by producing suppression during…”

Neuronal mechanisms for visual stability: progress and problems by Wurtz, Robert H., Joiner, Wilsaan M., Berman, Rebecca A.

“…How our vision remains stable in spite of the interruptions produced by saccadic eye movements has been a repeatedly revisited perceptual puzzle. The major…”

Recounting the impact of Hubel and Wiesel by Wurtz, Robert H.

“…David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel provided a quantum step in our understanding of the visual system. In this commemoration of the 50th year of their initial…”

Subcortical Modulation of Attention Counters Change Blindness by Cavanaugh, James, Wurtz, Robert H

“…Change blindness is the failure to see large changes in a visual scene that occur simultaneously with a global visual transient. Such visual transients might…”

Attentional Modulation of Thalamic Reticular Neurons by McAlonan, Kerry, Cavanaugh, James, Wurtz, Robert H

“…The major pathway for visual information reaching cerebral cortex is through the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus. Acting on this vital relay…”

Visual Responses in FEF, Unlike V1, Primarily Reflect When the Visual Context Renders a Receptive Field Salient by Joiner, Wilsaan M, Cavanaugh, James, Wurtz, Robert H, Cumming, Bruce G

“…When light falls within a neuronal visual receptive field (RF) the resulting activity is referred to as the visual response. Recent work suggests this activity…”

A Pathway in Primate Brain for Internal Monitoring of Movements by Sommer, Marc A., Wurtz, Robert H.

“…It is essential to keep track of the movements we make, and one way to do that is to monitor correlates, or corollary discharges, of neuronal movement…”
