Visual attention, visual working memory, and gaze control are basic functions that all select a subset of visual input to guide immediate or subsequent behavior. In this review, we focus on the relationship between these three functions and describe evidence, both at the behavioral and neural circuit levels that they are heavily interdependent. We start with the demonstration that gaze control - or saccade preparation in particular - leads to spatial attention. Next, we show that spatial attention and working memory interact at the behavioral level and rely on a common set of neural mechanisms. Next, we discuss the evidence that gaze control mechanisms are involved in spatial working memory. Lastly, we highlight the links between gaze control and non-spatial memory.
视觉注意、视觉工作记忆和眼球控制是三种基本功能,它们都选择视觉输入的一个子集来引导即时或后续的行为。在这篇综述中,我们关注这三种功能之间的关系,并描述它们在行为和神经回路水平上高度相互依赖的证据。我们首先证明眼球控制——特别是眼跳准备——会导致空间注意。接下来,我们表明空间注意和工作记忆在行为水平上相互作用,并依赖于一组共同的神经机制。接下来,我们讨论了眼球控制机制参与空间工作记忆的证据。最后,我们强调了眼球控制与非空间记忆之间的联系。
