J Neurophysiol. 76:1996;141-157 Visual receptive fields in ventral premotor cortex were stationary when the eyes moved, and moved when the monkey's chair was rotated. These visual receptive fields were therefore not retinocentric but organized in some other spatial coordinate system. of special interest.

J Neurophysiol. 77:1997;2268-2292 The effect of eye, head and arm movement on the visual receptive fields of bimodal neurons in ventral premotor cortex was studied. Most cells with a tactile response on the arm had a visual receptive field anchored to the arm. Most cells with a tactile response on the face had a visual receptive field anchored to the head. These neurons therefore encoded visual space in body-part-centered coordinates. Sixty percent of the bimodal neurons responded during voluntary movements, suggesting that they may contribute to sensory guidance of movements. of special interest.

Science. 277:1997;239-241 A subset of bimodal neurons in ventral premotor cortex responded to an object placed in their visual receptive field and continued to respond even after the lights were turned out and the object was no longer visible. Thus, ventral premotor cortex may contribute to the guidance of movement toward remembered targets. of special interest.

Exp Brain Res. 188:1998;373-380 Visual receptive fields in ventral premotor cortex remained anchored to the head or arms when the monkey was not performing a fixation task and the eyes were moving freely. The responses to visual stimuli were larger under this no-task condition. The neurons may be influenced by attention, responding less well when a concurrent task draws attention away from the visual stimulus. of special interest.

J Neurophysiol. 75:1996;439-453 Monkeys were trained to make saccades to tactile stimuli on the hands. Responses of superior colliculus neurons to these tactile stimuli were modulated by the initial position of the eyes before the start of the saccade. This result suggests that the tactile receptive fields in the colliculus may be anchored to the eye, that is, in eye-centered coordinates, an example of body-part-centered coordinates. of special interest.

J Neurophysiol. 76:1996;825-848 Responses of neurons in the supplementary eye field were studied while a monkey made saccades to visual targets. The visual receptive fields and the motor response fields of the neurons were fixed relative to the fovea and moved with the eye. These neurons appear to guide eye movements in an eye-centered reference frame, an example of body-part-centered coordinates. of special interest.

J Neurophysiol. 78:1997;1373-1383 A simple model in which visual information from the retina feeds forward to the frontal eye field would predict a time lag between the movement of the eyes and the apparent movement of the visual receptive field. However, the time lag was found to be smaller than expected, and in some neurons was near zero. Thus, the eye-centered representation in the frontal eye field is actively maintained. of special interest.

J Neurophysiol. 76:1996;2071-2076 Monkeys were trained to make saccades to auditory targets. Under these conditions, the neurons in area LIP, which normally respond only to visual stimuli, also responded to auditory stimuli. Some of the auditory receptive fields were found to move when the eye moved. They encoded the locations of auditory targets in eye-centered coordinates, an example of body-part-centered coordinates. of special interest.

J Neurophysiol. 76:1996;1439-1456 Monkeys were trained on a delayed double-saccade task, in which the direction of the saccade was dissociated from the location of the target. Most neurons in area LIP responded in relation to the direction of the saccade, not in relation to the location of the stimulus. The authors interpret this result as indicating that area LIP is specialized for saccades and not involved in general visuospatial attention. of special interest.
61. Snyder LH, Batista AP, Andersen RA. Coding of intention in the posterior parietal cortex. Nature. 386:1997;167-170 Most neurons in area LIP responded in relation to eye movements but not arm movements, while most neurons in an adjacent area, perhaps MIP, responded in relation to arm movements but not eye movements.
