“…The results incidentally provide further support for the notion that hMST includes a subregion that is homologous with macaque MSTd. The fact that MSTd is driven more strongly by visual than vestibular input (Gu et al, 2006;Takahashi et al, 2007;Chen et al, 2011b), and that the same is true of hMST (Smith et al, 2012), is also consistent with this interpretation.…”

“…Neurons with congruent and opposite preferences may serve to strengthen the perception of heading and to discount optic flow that arises from head-motion, respectively. During rotational motion, VIP shows similar proportions of neurons with opposite and congruent visual-vestibular preference (Chen et al, 2011a), but MSTd shows a marked predominance of neurons with opposite preferences (Takahashi et al, 2007). This predominance might suggest that rotational vestibular cues resulting from head motion are encoded in MSTd primarily for the purpose of distinguishing relevant external motion from irrelevant self-motion.…”

“…Because the animals' heads were fixed and their bodies confined, we believe that little systematic modulation caused by neck proprioception was present in the responses. Nevertheless, because we did not record in these areas after bilateral labyrinthectomy (Takahashi et al, 2007), we cannot exclude that some of the observed modulation arises at least partly from extralabyrinthine (e.g., somatosensory) signals.…”

“…Remarkably, macaque areas VIP and MST share a number of response features. Most importantly, these are visual and vestibular self-motion responses Chen et al 2011b;Duffy 1998;Duffy and Wurtz 1991a;Schlack et al 2002;Takahashi et al 2007). Responses from populations of neurons in both areas allow to decode heading in a fixed gaze condition (Bremmer et al 2002a;Britten 2008;Gu et al 2010;Lappe et al 1996).…”

Kaminiarz A, Schlack A, Hoffmann KP, Lappe M, Bremmer F. Visual selectivity for heading in the macaque ventral intraparietal area. J Neurophysiol 112: 2470 -2480, 2014. First published August 13, 2014 doi:10.1152/jn.00410.2014.-The patterns of optic flow seen during self-motion can be used to determine the direction of one's own heading. Tracking eye movements which typically occur during everyday life alter this task since they add further retinal image motion and (predictably) distort the retinal flow pattern. Humans employ both visual and nonvisual (extraretinal) information to solve a heading task in such case. Likewise, it has been shown that neurons in the monkey medial superior temporal area (area MST) use both signals during the processing of self-motion information. In this article we report that neurons in the macaque ventral intraparietal area (area VIP) use visual information derived from the distorted flow patterns to encode heading during (simulated) eye movements. We recorded responses of VIP neurons to simple radial flow fields and to distorted flow fields that simulated self-motion plus eye movements. In 59% of the cases, cell responses compensated for the distortion and kept the same heading selectivity irrespective of different simulated eye movements. In addition, response modulations during real compared with simulated eye movements were smaller, being consistent with reafferent signaling involved in the processing of the visual consequences of eye movements in area VIP. We conclude that the motion selectivities found in area VIP, like those in area MST, provide a way to successfully analyze and use flow fields during self-motion and simultaneous tracking movements.self-motion; primate; parietal cortex; eye movements SELF-MOTION THROUGH AN ENVIRONMENT induces visual, vestibular, tactile, and auditory signals. Neurophysiological research over the last two decades has shown in the animal model, i.e., the macaque monkey, how these signals interact to enhance and disambiguate the perception of heading during self-motion. Two areas of the primate extrastriate and parietal cortex proved to be of specific importance in this context, i.e., the medial superior temporal area (area MST) and the ventral intraparietal area (area VIP). Neurons in area MST respond to visual and vestibular self-motion signals, and their causal role in heading perception has been confirmed (Bremmer et al.
