One of the central goals of the neurosciences is to describe perception, action, and thought in terms of brain processes. Near the middle of the 19th century it was felt that such a reductionist research program could not hope to succeed unless the behavior of any one animal were completely described in terms of its neurons (this is a demand that b...

... THE NEURAL SUBSTRATES FOR generating horizontal saccades have been extensively analyzed (Grantyn and Moschovakis 2004;Isa and Hall 2009;May 2006;Schiller and Körner 1971;Scudder et al. 2002;Sparks 1999;Wurtz and Goldberg 1972). Excitatory and inhibitory medium-lead burst neurons (MLBNs) that show burst activity before and during horizontal saccades have been identified in the paramedian reticular formation rostral and caudal to the abducens nucleus, respectively (Cohen and Henn 1972;Hikosaka and Kawakami 1977;Keller 1974;Luschei and Fuchs 1972;Yoshida et al. 1982). ...
... The 135° stimulus orientation was characterized by an inverse arrangement, which presumably made tool-grasp preparations easier (also supported by a, seemingly greater in the right visual field, feature saliency effect; Kourtis & Vingerhoets, 2015). Finally, in the 0° stimulus orientation, both the functional and graspable parts were placed centrally (along the vertical meridian), so they were most likely managed by both hemispheres at the same time (Horton & Hoyt, 1991; see also Adams & Horton, 2008). The latter stimuli turned out to be the easiest to process visually, as the participants' response times were the fastest (cf. ...
