Microsaccadic eye movement generation is sufficient to enhance peripheral visual sensitivity

This study shows that generating microsaccadic eye movements can enhance peripheral visual sensitivity independently of attentional demands.

Direct interhemispheric cortical communication via thalamic commissures: a new white-matter pathway in the primate brain

The paper identifies thalamic commissures in primates, showing they connect cortex to contralateral thalamus and exist in both healthy and malformed human brains.

An integrated resource for functional and structural connectivity of the marmoset brain

The paper integrates structural and functional connectivity data from marmoset brains to map functional networks, develop a deep-learning parcellation generator, and investigate structural-functional relationships.

Instantaneous movement-unrelated midbrain activity modifies ongoing eye movements

The paper shows that midbrain activity during eye movements can predictably alter ongoing saccades, indicating simultaneous integration of sensory and motor signals in the superior colliculus.

Memory-guided microsaccades

This study shows humans and monkeys can voluntarily generate microsaccades on demand without visual guidance or training, with corresponding neural activity in the superior colliculus.
