Neurons in the lateral intraparietal area show re-mapping of visual receptive fields before saccadic eye movements (Duhamel et al. 1992).
Even though the eyes constantly change position, the location of a stimulus can be accurately represented by a population of neurons with retinotopic receptive fields modulated by eye position gain fields.
Children with autism who received hyperbaric treatment at 1.3 atm and 24% oxygen for 40 hourly sessions had significant improvements in overall functioning, receptive language, social interaction, eye contact, and sensory/cognitive awareness compared to children who received slightly pressurized room air.
In this current trial, significant improvements were observed in several domains with the use of hyperbaric treatment at 1.3 atm and 24% oxygen compared to slightly pressurized room air, including overall functioning, receptive language, social interaction, eye contact, and sensory/cognitive awareness.
In a recent multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial, children with autism who received hyperbaric treatment at 1.3 ATM and 24% oxygen for 40 hourly sessions had significant improvements in overall functioning, receptive language, social interaction, eye contact, and sensory/cognitive awareness compared to children who received slightly pressurized room air [ 30].
… let us open our leaves like a flower and be passive and receptive – budding patiently under the eye of Apollo and taking hints from every noble insect that favors us with a visit".
Recent proposals link this stability to the shifting of receptive fields of neurons in eye movement and attention control areas.
Winter-long they worked their charms through the glass, finding a receptive audience beyond the indifferent eyes of the pet store workers.
An opening was present in the roof of the skull for the pineal eye, a light-receptive organ found in many primitive vertebrates.
Once gaze was directed to position the eyes within the receptive field of this neuron we observed steady, low-rate firing within ~20 ms. In this example, the subject was required to make a saccade to capture a sound-associated image.
As past studies indicated the possible relationship between language development and face scanning [ 8, 14, 15] or gaze following [ 9, 16], we examined whether the individual differences in receptive language score predicted the eye-tracking measures but found no such relationship between these at either visit or in either group (all R 2 < 0.15, all F < 3.37, all p > 0.080).
