Position

Question 1

Retinotopic mapping

Answer 1

Superficial layers, In the superior colliculus. It creates a retinotopic map of the visual field. the RF of this field connects to saccade vector that generates a saccade to a stimuli

Question 2

Saccade vector mapping

Answer 2

Deep layers of superior colliculi

Question 3

Reference frame

Answer 3

Position of visual field has to be encoded into different reference frames. How it is positioned relative to your body.

Question 4

RF shifts

Answer 4

Test to know in what frame of reference a RF position sits. If you record from a receptive field of a neuron, and you shift your eye, does the RF go along with the change or does it stay in that position
(head centred or body centered)?

Question 5

Area 5

Answer 5

Motor area that uses differen reference frames for movements.

Question 6

VIP neurons

Answer 6

Some change response as a function of eye position. Gain modulation, a stronger responds depending on fixation of the eye.

Some have RF in head/body centered coordinates. Area stays despite change in fixation

Mixed form; Partially eye head centered, with gain modulation

Question 7
