Non-spatial, motor-specific activation in posterior parietal cortex

JL Calton, AR Dickinson, LH Snyder - Nature neuroscience, 2002 - nature.com
A localized cluster of neurons in macaque posterior parietal cortex, termed the parietal reach
region (PRR), is activated when a reach is planned to a visible or remembered target. To …

Hippocampal place cell instability after lesions of the head direction cell network

JL Calton, RW Stackman, JP Goodridge… - Journal of …, 2003 - Soc Neuroscience
The occurrence of cells that encode spatial location (place cells) or head direction (HD cells)
in the rat limbic system suggests that these cell types are important for spatial navigation. …

Eye-hand coordination: saccades are faster when accompanied by a coordinated arm movement

LH Snyder, JL Calton, AR Dickinson… - Journal of …, 2002 - journals.physiology.org
When primates reach for an object, they very often direct an eye movement toward the object
as well. This pattern of directing both eye and limb movements to the same object appears …

Where am I and how will I get there from here? A role for posterior parietal cortex in the integration of spatial information and route planning

JL Calton, JS Taube - Neurobiology of learning and memory, 2009 - Elsevier
The ability of an organism to accurately navigate from one place to another requires integration
of multiple spatial constructs, including the determination of one’s position and direction …

Attenuation of the renewal effect by extinction in multiple contexts

JJ Chelonis, JL Calton, JA Hart, TR Schachtman - Learning and Motivation, 1999 - Elsevier
In two experiments, water-deprived rats were given a single pairing of a sucrose solution
with LiCl in one context (Context 1). Some subjects then received three nonreinforced …

Degradation of head direction cell activity during inverted locomotion

JL Calton, JS Taube - Journal of Neuroscience, 2005 - Soc Neuroscience
Head direction (HD) cells in the rat limbic system carry information about the direction the
head is pointing in the horizontal plane. Most previous studies of HD functioning have used …

Rat head direction cell responses in zero-gravity parabolic flight

JS Taube, RW Stackman, JL Calton… - Journal of …, 2004 - journals.physiology.org
Astronauts working in zero-gravity (0-G) often experience visual reorientation illusions (VRIs).
For example, when floating upside down, they commonly misperceive the spacecraft floor …

Conditioned inhibition produced by extinction of a conditioned stimulus

JL Calton, KG Mitchell, TR Schachtman - Learning and Motivation, 1996 - Elsevier
Four experiments used a conditioned taste aversion procedure to examine the potential for
CS-alone extinction treatment to produce a conditioned stimulus that possesses inhibitory …

Nonspatial saccade-specific activation in area LIP of monkey parietal cortex

AR Dickinson, JL Calton… - Journal of …, 2003 - journals.physiology.org
We present evidence that neurons in the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) of monkey posterior
parietal cortex (PPC) are activated by the instruction to make an eye movement, even in the …

Preparatory delay activity in the monkey parietal reach region predicts reach reaction times

LH Snyder, AR Dickinson, JL Calton - Journal of Neuroscience, 2006 - Soc Neuroscience
To acquire something that we see, visual spatial information must ultimately result in the
activation of the appropriate set of muscles. This sensory to motor transformation requires an …
