Population coding of distinct categories of behavior in the frontal eye field

The paper examines how the frontal eye field encodes three distinct eye movement behaviors and finds that neurons respond to multiple tasks, with overlapping and orthogonal population codes for different behaviors.

High-Dimensional Encoding of Movement by Single Neurons in Basal Ganglia Output

This study records SNpr neuron activity during eye movements and finds diverse firing patterns that suggest high-dimensional coding beyond simple movement gating.

Passive motor learning: Oculomotor adaptation in the absence of feedback on behavioral errors

This study shows that motor adaptation can occur without erroneous movements, challenging the trial-and-error model and suggesting alternative mechanisms for learning.
