Division of labour in human visual cortical system

Mishkin and Ungerleider

The parietal lobes: “crossroads of the brain” (Critchley, 1953) well situated topographically multimodal requisite cortical and subcortical connectivity Distribution of MCA, little collateral supply Inferior Parietal lobule Supramarginal gyrus Angular gyrus

Neglect

Federico Fellini ( )

* Asymmetry in incidence: RH (66%) in humans not monkeys Inferior parietal lobule –Areas 39 and 40; –non-human primate analog: IPL (7) vs STS –bimodal: short-lived vs persistent Affects different sensory modalities Not sensory deficit * Neglect

Not just parietal Distributed network: (Mesulam; Heilman) –dorsolateral prefrontal, medial frontal (cingulate, thalamus, basal ganglia, white matter). –Same network activated in eye movement studies Close relationship between attention and eye movements (Corbetta et al.) Other terminology –Extinction –Allesthesia –anosagnosia

Extent of effect Other sensory modalities –Auditory –Olfactory –Tactile Mental imagery –Piazza del Duomo (Bisiach and Luzzatti) Affects output: not surprisingly

Vision and eye movements (Behrmann et al.) 45 x 36 degrees visual angle magnetic scleral coil in right eye indicate number of As in display

Lesions: neglect patients

Lesions: BD controls with hemianopia

Location and duration of fixations

Eye movements reflect left-sided neglect

What can we learn about parietal cortex? What determines what information is neglected? What gives rise to neglect? What happens to the information that is neglected?

What can we learn about parietal cortex? What determines what information is neglected? What gives rise to neglect? What happens to the information that is neglected?

Possible frames of reference: what defines ‘left’?

Visual neglect in allocentric coordinates

Depiction of environmental neglect

Visual neglect in allocentric and egocentric coordinates

Tactile and visual neglect Moscovitch and Behrmann

Tactile neglect in allocentric co-ordinates

Range of possible frames of reference

Neglect with respect to object midline Target Copy

Behrmann and Tipper right object right space left object right space

Object-based neglect: inhibition for right and facilitation for left targets

Directional selectivity of neurons Olson and Gettner (1995, 1998) L/R of bar L/R eye movement

Neurons fire for left or right of bar independent of direction of movement

Paradigm: object and environ- neglect square circle

Simultaneous object- and environ-based neglect

Multiple reference frames in eye movements too

Normal: no errors in reading

Neglect: errors and eye movements

Another example

Hemianopic: no reading errors

Frames of reference Egocentric (dependent on viewer) But also allocentric (independent on viewer) –Not only in vision, also in tactile Multiple coordinate frame –Also evident in eye movements

What can we learn about parietal cortex? What determines what information is neglected? What gives rise to neglect? What happens to the information that is neglected?

What gives rise to neglect? gradient Gradient consistent with neuronal distribution: 68 bilateral, 29 contra, 3 ipsi

Suggests competition too: bad on left, too good on right

Visual search paradigm

Normal subjects

Patients with LHD

Patients with RHD

So: Spatial deficit apparent in visual search Generally scaled with severity of neglect –But more in RHD than LHD –Some competition: better on right side as neglect severe in conjunction

What can we learn about parietal cortex? What determines what information is neglected? What gives rise to neglect? What happens to the information that is neglected?

Fate of neglected information Do patients process unattended information normally? –failure to reach consciousness? –degraded processing?

Volpe, Ledoux and Gazzaniga (1979) Same or different?Name the objects Response: differentResponse: A star Unconscious processing/ failure to explicitly report information that is available

Priming paradigm McGlinchey Berroth et al. Normal subjects: faster lexical decision time if related than unrelated related unrelated GOSE THIP

Results Patients faster to say ‘yes’ when semantic related pic on right (eye-nose) compared to eye-ship Patients faster to say ‘yes’ when semantic related pic on left SAME AMOUNT OF PRIMING/FACILITATION FROM BOTH SIDES! Even though report the information. Patients process neglected info normally.

Results … Continued BUT: normals show double priming on left than right Cannot conclude processing is normal! Priming not as demanding as explicit report.

What can we learn about parietal cortex? What determines what information is neglected? –Multiple reference frames, demands of task What gives rise to neglect? –Competition between residual activated neurons, spatial and temporal factors relevant What happens to the information that is neglected? –Seems to be activated to some extent, not fully

Alternative view of parietal cortex: “how” not “where” Milner and Goodale –Parietal cortex involved in on-line ballistic movements Where the action is!
