The sources of afferent input to the striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen) suggest that this structure may be engaged in neuronal processes related to the initiation of movement. We found that 26% of 508 neurons in both parts of the striatum were activated during the presentation of visual signals
1. In the alert monkey neuronal activity was recorded in the ventro-posterior nucleus (VP) of the thalamus in the dark during sinusoidal rotation over a frequency range from 0.01-1 Hz. 2. From 57 neurons 38 (67%) were activated with rotation to the ipsilateral side (type I) and 19 (33%) to the contr
Monkeys were trained to make visually evoked eye movements while undergoing simultaneous head rotation. Single units were recorded in the pregeniculate nucleus (PGN). PGN neurons discharged during each saccade, but there was no change in activity with horizontal head acceleration or with various com
