As we move through the world, natural and built environments implicitly guide behavior by appealing to certain sensory and motor dynamics. This process can be motivated by automatic attention to environmental features that resonate with specific sensorimotor responses. This review aims at providing a psychobiological framework describing how environmental features can lead to automated sensorimotor responses through defined neurophysiological mechanisms underlying attention. Through the use of automated processes in subsets of cortical structures, the goal of this framework is to describe on a neuronal level the functional link between the designed environment and sensorimotor responses. By distinguishing between environmental features and sensorimotor responses we elaborate on how automatic behavior employs the environment for sensorimotor adaptation. This is realized through a thalamo-cortical network integrating environmental features with motor aspects of behavior. We highlight the underlying transthalamic transmission from an Enactive and predictive perspective and review recent studies that effectively modulated behavior by systematically manipulating environmental features. We end by suggesting a promising combination of neuroimaging and computational analysis for future studies.
当我们在这个世界上移动时，自然和人为环境通过吸引某些感觉和运动动力学来隐含地引导行为。这个过程可以通过自动关注与特定感觉运动反应产生共鸣的环境特征来激发。这篇综述旨在提供一个心理生物学框架，描述环境特征如何通过注意力的基础神经生理机制导致自动化的感觉运动反应。通过使用皮质结构的子集中的自动化过程，该框架的目标是在神经元水平上描述设计环境和感觉运动反应之间的功能联系。通过区分环境特征和感觉运动反应，我们详细阐述了自动行为如何利用环境进行感觉运动适应。这是通过一个整合环境特征和行为运动方面的丘脑皮质网络来实现的。我们从能动性和预测性的角度强调了从丘脑到皮质的潜在传递，并回顾了最近的研究，这些研究通过系统地操纵环境特征有效地调节了行为。最后，我们建议将神经影像学和计算分析相结合，为未来的研究提供一个有希望的组合。
