We investigated the contribution of the lateral intraparietal area
(LIP) to the selection of saccadic eye movement targets and to saccade
execution using muscimol-induced reversible inactivation and compared
those effects with inactivation of the adjacent ventral intraparietal
area (VIP) and with sham injections of saline into LIP. Three types of
tasks were used: saccades to single visual or memorized targets,
saccades to synchronous and asynchronous bilateral targets, and visual
search of a target among distractors. LIP inactivation failed to
produce deficits in the latency or accuracy of saccades to single
targets, but it dramatically reduced the frequency of contralateral
saccades in the presence of bilateral targets, and it increased search
time for a contralateral target during serial visual search. In the
latter task, the observed deficits might reflect either an ispilateral
bias in saccadic search strategy or an attentional impairment in
locating a target among flanking distractors within the contralateral
field. No effects were observed on any of these tasks after VIP
inactivation. These results suggest that one important contribution of
LIP to oculomotor behavior is the selection of targets for saccades in the context of competing visual stimuli.
