Circuits for action and cognition: a view from the superior colliculus
The superior colliculus is one of the most well-studied structures in the brain, and with each
new report, its proposed role in behavior seems to increase in complexity. Forty years of …

[HTML][HTML] How do the two visual streams interact with each other?
AD Milner - Experimental brain research, 2017 - Springer
The current consensus divides primate cortical visual processing into two broad networks or
“streams” composed of highly interconnected areas (Milner and Goodale 2006, 2008; …

The macaque lateral grasping network: a neural substrate for generating purposeful hand actions
In primates, neural mechanisms for controlling skilled hand actions primarily rely on
sensorimotor transformations. These transformations are mediated by circuits linking specific …

Triggering prepared actions by sudden sounds: reassessing the evidence for a single mechanism
W Marinovic, JR Tresilian - Acta Physiologica, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Loud acoustic stimuli can unintentionally elicit volitional acts when a person is in a state of
readiness to execute them (the StartReact effect). It has been assumed that the same …
