function and dysfunction of basal ganglia

Question 1

hand eye coordination in humans?

Answer 1

eyes transmit signal to the LGN, which is transmitted to the primary visual cortex. This information is then used to coordinate movements between the parietal and prefrontal lobe.

Question 2

edge detection

Answer 2

the rods and cone distribution in the retina have the ability to enhance the perception of edges.

Question 3

depth perception

Answer 3

determined in the visual cortex using binocular vision

Question 4

the Jennifer Aniston neuron

Answer 4

A unique cell native to the Ojemann’s brain, which produces a high degree of positive and euphoric emotion via gultaminergic and dompanergic signaling through the limbic system.

Question 5

parietal lobe and information integration

Answer 5

integrates movement and visual stimuli. this further works with the prefrontal lobe to plan movement movement.

Question 6

cerebellum and hand eye movement

Answer 6

the cerebellum corrects/adapts the prediction of where the limbs are in relation to the visual field. The signal is transferred to the olive, and projected to the cerebellum via mossy fibers.

Question 7

efference copy

Answer 7

sending an output to more than one structure.

Question 8

how does adaptation occur?

Answer 8

monkey pushing a botton. corticostriatral, palimidalstriatial loop. Meaning the cortex thinks something is good and sends this signal to the striatum. If the movement is good, the NG sends happy signals to the striatum to reinforce the pathway.

Question 9
