We have recorded identified cortico-tectal neurons from the primate parietal cortex to determine whether the depth-related activity in the intraparietal sulcus (area LIP) is transmitted to the superior colliculus. Traditional theory suggests that the superior colliculus is involved in the control of conjugate, saccadic eye movements and thus would not require inputs related to depth. We provide conclusive evidence that area LIP neurons in fact do transmit depth-related information to the superior colliculus.
我们记录了来自灵长类动物顶叶皮层中已识别的皮质-顶盖神经元，以确定顶内沟（LIP区）中与深度相关的活动是否会传递到上丘。传统理论认为，上丘参与共轭扫视眼动的控制，因此不需要与深度相关的输入。我们提供了确凿的证据，表明LIP区神经元实际上确实会将与深度相关的信息传递到上丘。
