Reach Corrections Toward Moving Objects are Faster Than Reach Corrections Toward Instantaneously Switching Targets

Sasha Reschechtko, Cynthiya Gnanaseelan, J. Andrew Pruszynski

Summary: Guided reaching is a motor behavior that uses subcortical circuits to make rapid corrections. This study investigates participants' performance in reaching physical objects that changed position in different ways, either by continuous movement or instantaneous switching. The results show that participants were consistently faster in correcting their reach trajectories when the object moved continuously.

Modulation of initial movement for double potential targets with specific time constraints

Ryoji Onagawa, Kazutoshi Kudo

Summary: This study found that in the case of double potential targets with independent time constraints, humans adjust their motor planning based on the time constraints specific to each target. However, performance is lower under tight time constraints, indicating suboptimal planning for multiple potential targets with different time constraints.

Behavioral decomposition reveals rich encoding structure employed across neocortex in rats

Bartul Mimica, Tuce Tombaz, Claudia Battistin, Jingyi Guo Fuglstad, Benjamin A. Dunn, Jonathan R. Whitlock

Summary: This study investigates how different cortical systems encode naturalistic 3D behavior by mapping sensory and motor cortical areas. The results show that the cortical population code is influenced by movement but the relationship between these signals and natural behavior in sensory cortices is still unknown. By comparing high-density neural recordings across four cortical regions in rats, the researchers find that momentary actions can be decoded universally, while more elementary and continuous features follow region-specific organization. The findings suggest that ongoing behavior is encoded at multiple levels throughout the dorsal cortex, with different regions utilizing low-level features for locally relevant computations.

Context Matters: A Theory of Semantic Discriminability for Perceptual Encoding Systems

Kushin Mukherjee, Brian Yin, Brianne E. Sherman, Laurent Lessard, Karen B. Schloss

Summary: People's associations between colors and concepts influence their ability to interpret color meanings. Even if a concept is not strongly associated with any colors, it can be disambiguated through comparison with other concepts. The semantic discriminability theory explains how people infer meaning from visual features and suggests that the capacity for semantic discriminability is limited by the difference in color-concept associations. Two experiments supported this theory, showing that the ability to produce semantically discriminable colors is constrained by statistical distance, and colors can communicate meaning even for concepts previously considered non-colorable. These results emphasize the importance of colors in visual communication.

Visual exposure enhances stimulus encoding and persistence in primary cortex

Andreea Lazar, Christopher Lewis, Pascal Fries, Wolf Singer, Danko Nikolic

Summary: The study shows that brief exposure to structured visual stimuli can enhance stimulus encoding in the primary visual cortex of cats, increasing the range of neuronal responses and segregating them into stimulus-specific clusters. These refinements in neuronal responses observed post-exposure preserve representational details necessary for stimulus reconstruction and can potentially benefit simple readouts at higher stages of visual processing.

Sound Improves Neuronal Encoding of Visual Stimuli in Mouse Primary Visual Cortex

Aaron M. Williams, Christopher F. Angeloni, Maria N. Geffen

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated how sound and movement interact to modulate V1 visual responses in awake, head-fixed mice. They found that sound modulated the activity of a large percentage of light-responsive neurons, with most neurons increasing their activity in the presence of auditory stimuli. The study also revealed that sound and movement had distinct and complementary effects on neuronal visual responses, improving the decoding of visual stimuli from neuronal activity. These findings enhance our understanding of multimodal processing in the awake brain and clarify the potential confounding role of movement in neuronal audiovisual responses.

Eye movement characteristics are not significantly influenced by psychiatric comorbidities in people with visual snow syndrome

Emma J. Solly, Meaghan Clough, Allison M. McKendrick, Owen B. White, Joanne Fielding

Summary: Visual snow syndrome (VSS) is a neurological disorder affecting visual information processing, and participants with VSS show altered saccade profiles in ocular motor tasks. This study investigated the influence of psychiatric symptoms on these differences in ocular motor behavior in VSS participants. The results showed no significant relationship between psychiatric symptoms and ocular motor metrics, suggesting that the differences in ocular motor behavior are a characteristic of the disorder.

Summary: The study investigates the neural mechanisms underlying advanced tool use abilities in humans. Previous research has identified a unique brain region, the left anterior supramarginal gyrus (aSMG), which is consistently active during tool use action observation. This region is crucial for integrating semantic and technical information to form action plans with tools. However, the impact of tool use motor learning on aSMG activation and connectivity with other brain regions remains unknown.
