A circuit model for transsaccadic space updating and mislocalization.

ABSTRACT: We perceive a stable, continuous world despite drastic changes of retinal images across saccades. However, while persistent objects in daily life appear stable across saccades, stimuli flashed around saccades can be grossly mislocalized. We address this puzzle with our recently proposed circuit model for perisaccadic receptive-field (RF) remapping in the lateral interparietal area (LIP) and frontal eye fields (FEF). The model uses center-excitation/surround-inhibition connections to store a relevant stimulus' retinal location in memory as a population activity. This activity profile is updated across each saccade by directional connections gated by the corollary discharge (CD) of the saccade command. The updating is a continuous backward (against the saccade) shift of the pop
