- W2967707913 abstract "ABSTRACT Abnormal saccadic eye movements can serve as biomarkers for patients with several neuropsychiatric disorders. To investigate cortical control mechanisms of saccadic responses, the common marmoset ( Callithrix jacchus ) is a promising non-human primate model. Their lissencephalic brain allows for accurate targeting of homologues of sulcal areas in the macaque brain. Here we recorded single unit activity in the posterior parietal cortex of two marmosets using chronic microelectrode arrays, while the monkeys performed a saccadic task with Gap trials (stimulus onset lagged fixation point offset by 200ms) interleaved with Step trials (fixation point disappeared when the peripheral stimulus appeared). Both marmosets showed a gap effect—shorter saccadic reaction times (SRTs) in Gap vs. Step trials. On average, stronger gap-period response across the entire neuronal population preceded shorter SRTs on trials with contralateral targets, although this correlation was stronger among the 15% ‘gap neurons’, which responded significantly during the gap. We also found 39% ‘target neurons’ with significant visual target-related responses, which were stronger in Gap trials and correlated with the SRTs better than the remaining cells. Compared with slow saccades, fast saccades were preceded by both stronger gap-related and target-related response in all PPC neurons, regardless of whether such response reached significance. Our findings suggest that the PPC in the marmoset contains an area that is involved in the modulation of saccadic preparation and plays roles comparable to those of area LIP in macaque monkeys in eye movements. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Abnormal saccadic eye movements can serve as biomarkers for different neuropsychiatric disorders. So far, processes of cerebral cortical control of saccades are not fully understood. Non-human primates are ideal models for studying such processes, and the marmoset is especially advantageous since their smooth cortex permits laminar analyses of cortical microcircuits. Using electrode arrays implanted in the posterior parietal cortex of marmosets, we found neurons responsive to key periods of a saccadic task in a manner that contribute to cortical modulation of saccadic preparation. Notably, this signal was correlated with subsequent saccadic reaction times and was present in the entire neuronal population. We suggest that the marmoset model will shed new light on the cortical mechanisms of saccadic control." @default.
