- W2417680329 abstract "1. Single unit activities of 236 neurons were recorded in the medial pontomedullary reticular formation during visually triggered orienting gaze shifts in 10 alert cats under head-free conditions using movable tungsten-needle electrodes attached to the skull. The activities were analyzed mainly in relation to the head movement that was triggered by presentation of a light-emitting diode (LED) in one of eight directions separated radially by 45 deg after fixation of the center LED. Of these, 120 neurons were recorded in the pontine reticular formation, chiefly in the nucleus reticularis pontis caudalis, and the remaining 116 were in the medullary reticular formation, chiefly in the nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis. Activities of 65 pontine and 65 medullary neurons were modulated in relation to the dynamic phase of orienting movements (orienting-related neurons). Activities of the remaining neurons were modulated either irregularly or not at all during orienting movement (irregular or no-response neurons). Input from the contralateral superior colliculus and cerebral cortex and projections to the spinal cord were also investigated. 2. Among the orienting-related neurons, 62 pontine and 55 medullary neurons showed increases in activity preceding the onset of eye and head movement by 0-155 ms (pretype). Three pontine and 10 medullary neurons showed increases in activity only after the onset of movement (posttype). Of the pretype neurons, 61 pontine and 51 medullary neurons showed directional preference of activity (directional neurons). One pontine and four medullary neurons were classified as omnidirectional because these neurons increased activity preceding movements in all directions tested, and no directional preference was apparent. 3. In the pretype-directional cells, the average firing frequency during bursts was correlated with amplitude and angular velocity of head movements. Activities of the directional neurons during movements in the eight different directions could be well fitted with cosine functions in the majority of cases. The preferred directions of most pontine neurons and of about half the medullary neurons, as determined by first-degree sinusoidal regression analysis, were distributed around the ipsiversive horizontal axis. However, there were also a considerable number of neurons whose preferred directions were upward, downward, contraversive, or oblique in the medulla. 4. Among the directional cells preferring ipsiversive horizontal movements, 11 pontine neurons showed activity, the onset of which was locked to visual stimuli with latencies of 40-70 ms, in addition to phasic discharges locked to the onset of movement. This stimulus-locked activity was sometimes modulated depending on the attentional state of the animal.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)" @default.
