Resumen
El cerebro utiliza un proceso de selección para elegir los objetivos de la sacada. Algunas neuronas superiores del colículo ayudan a la selección del objetivo, mientras que otras preparan el movimiento ocular después de la selección.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La neurociencia es la neurociencia.
- Investigación del movimiento oculomotor.
- El procesamiento visual es el procesamiento visual.
Sus antecedentes:
- El cerebro debe seleccionar objetivos de sacada de múltiples opciones.
- Las neuronas del colículo superior (SC) muestran actividad antes de las sacadas, pero su papel es debatido.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar el papel de las neuronas del SC en la selección del objetivo de la sacada.
- Para diferenciar entre las funciones de pre y post-selección de las neuronas SC.
Principales métodos:
- Grabación de la actividad de las neuronas SC en monos que realizan una tarea de sacudida basada en la dirección del movimiento.
Principales resultados:
- Algunas neuronas del SC exhibieron respuestas visuales direccionables selectivas, lo que indica un papel en la selección del objetivo.
- Otras neuronas del SC parecían estar involucradas en la especificación de parámetros de sacada posterior a la selección.
Conclusiones:
- Las neuronas del SC desempeñan funciones distintas tanto en la selección de objetivos de sacada como en la preparación de los movimientos oculares posteriores.
- La evidencia sugiere una doble función para las neuronas SC en el sistema oculomotor.

02:03What is Cell Signaling?
Despite the protective membrane that separates a cell from the environment, cells need the ability to detect and respond to environmental changes. Additionally, cells often need to communicate with one another. Unicellular and multicellular organisms use a variety of cell signaling mechanisms to communicate to respond to the environment.

01:32Types of Signaling Molecules
In multicellular organisms, many molecules transmit signals between cells to pass information. These signals vary in complexity and include small peptides, nucleotides, steroids, fatty acid derivatives, and dissolved gases such as nitric oxide. Some signaling molecules diffuse through the plasma membrane to act locally between neighboring cells or travel long distances. Others remain attached to the cell surface, transmitting information to other cells only when they make contact. In some...
