Stem cell-derived motor neurons with differential ALS vulnerability identified proteasome activity as a possible mechanism that explains their differential sensitivity.

The subthalamic nucleus contains distinct subpopulations that can support multifaceted roles for making decisions based on uncertain evidence.

Slow, continuous changes in eye position when gaze is fixed, previously believed to be random drifts, are shown to exhibit highly systematic and short-latency response characteristics to visual stimuli.

An area of visual-motor cortex called the lateral intraparietal area encodes eye position signals that support visually-guided behaviors and image stabilization.

The detection of a salient stimulus triggers a stereotypical oculomotor response, an impulse to look toward it, whose timing and strength are largely independent of behavioral significance and top-down control.

Midbrain neurons display attention-related modulation even in the absence of microsaccades, demonstrating that shifts of attention can be dissociated from the generation of microsaccades.

A discrete population of genetically accessible pretectal neurons controls visually guided hunting behaviour in larval zebrafish.

The use of preparatory activity in the smooth eye movement region of the frontal eye fields as a visual-motor gain signal allows preparation to progress without inappropriate movement.

During natural visual behavior in mice, orienting towards a target is driven by head movements, during which the eyes stabilize and shift the visual input.

Eye movements are neither necessary nor sufficient to account for the neural effects associated with covert attention.
