Evaluating the Influence of Motor Control on Selective Attention through a Stochastic Model: The Paradigm of Motor Control Dysfunction in Cerebellar Patient
Figure 1
Short reference of vision pathway. (a) Selective attention pathway: the LGN, the striate and extrastriate cortex (V1, V4, inferotemporal cortex, and MT), SC, pulvinar, LIP, FEF, and PFC are known to be involved in attentional processes. (b) Cerebrocerebellar communication loop: the neuronal circuitry of the cerebellum is thought to encode internal models that reproduce the dynamic properties of body parts. These models control the movement allowing the brain to precisely control the movement without the need for sensory feedback. MC: motor cortex. IN: interpositus nucleus. PN: pons. VL: ventrolateral nucleus. SC: superior colliculi. LGN: lateral geniculate nuclei. Visual areas (VA): V1, V2, V3, V4, and MT (middle temporal). PFC: prefrontal cortex. FEF: frontal eye fields. LIP: lateral intraparietal cortex.
