The role of the locus coeruleus in eye movements during perceptual decision making

Katerina Acar, Matthew A. Smith

This study investigates the role of locus coeruleus (LC) neurons in perceptual decision making by dissociating sensory and motor components through a visual task in rhesus macaques, finding that most LC neurons respond to saccadic motor output rather than sensory stimuli.

Slow drift of neural activity as a signature of impulsivity in macaque visual and prefrontal cortex

Benjamin R. Cowley, Adam C. Snyder, Katerina Acar, Ryan Chace Williamson, Byron M. Yu, Matthew A. Smith

The paper identifies slow neural activity drift in macaque visual and prefrontal cortex as an impulsivity signal influencing perceptual decisions over time.

Altered functional interactions between neurons in primary visual cortex of macaque monkeys with experimental amblyopia

Katerina Acar, Lynne Kiorpes, J. Anthony Movshon, Matthew A. Smith

The paper investigates altered functional interactions among neurons in the visual cortex of amblyopic macaques, finding reduced visual information carried by responses driven through the amblyopic eye.
