Single step task
Spatial updating or remapping
The brain combines visual and corollary discharge signals
to create a representation of space that takes our eye
movements into account
LIP Summary
Area LIP neurons encode attended spatial locations.
LIP Summary
Area LIP neurons encode attended spatial locations.
The spatial representation of an attended location is remapped
when the eyes move.
LIP Summary
Area LIP neurons encode attended spatial locations.
The spatial representation of an attended location is remapped
when the eyes move.
Remapping is initiated by a corollary discharge of the eye
movement command.
LIP Summary
Area LIP neurons encode attended spatial locations.
The spatial representation of an attended location is remapped
when the eyes move.
Remapping is initiated by a corollary discharge of the eye
movement command.
Remapping produces a representation that is oculocentric: a
location is represented in the coordinates of the movement
needed to acquire the location.

Extrastriate Summary
Remapping occurs at early stages of the visual hierarchy.
Corollary discharge has an impact far back into the system.
Extrastriate Summary
Remapping occurs at early stages of the visual hierarchy.
Corollary discharge has an impact far back into the system.
Remapping implies widespread connectivity in which many
neurons have rapid access to information well beyond the
classical receptive field.

What is the brain circuit that produces remapping?
The obvious pathway for visual signals:
forebrain commissures
Are the forebrain commissures necessary for updating
visual signals across the vertical meridian?

Are the forebrain commissures necessary for updating

spatial information across the vertical meridian?
No. The FC are the primary route but not the only route.
