TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Driving strategy alters neuronal responses to self-movement: cortical mechanisms of distracted driving JO - Cerebral cortex A1 - Kishore, Sarita A1 - Hornick, Noah A1 - Sato, Nobuya A1 - Page, William K. A1 - Duffy, Charles J. SP - 201 EP - 208 VL - 22 IS - 1 N2 - We presented naturalistic combinations of virtual self-movement stimuli while recording neuronal activity in monkey cerebral cortex. Monkeys used a joystick to drive to a straight ahead heading direction guided by either object motion or optic flow. The selected cue dominates neuronal responses, often mimicking responses evoked when that stimulus is presented alone. In some neurons, driving strategy creates selective response additivities. In others, it creates vulnerabilities to the disruptive effects of independently moving objects. Such cue interactions may be related to the disruptive effects of independently moving objects in Alzheimer's disease patients with navigational deficits.
