Neurons in the monkey superior colliculus predict the visual result of impending saccadic eye movements

1. Previous experiments have shown that visual neurons in the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) respond predictively to stimuli outside their classical receptive fields when an impending saccade will bring those stimuli into their receptive fields. Because LIP projects strongly to the intermediate layers of the superior colliculus, we sought to demonstrate similar predictive responses in the monkey colliculus. 2. We studied the behavior of 90 visually responsive neurons in the superficial and intermediate layers of the superior colliculus of two rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) when visual stimuli or the locations of remembered stimuli were brought into their receptive fields by a saccade. 3. Thirty percent (18/60) of intermediate layer visuomovement cells responded predictively before a saccade outside the movement field of the neuron when that saccade would bring the location of a stimulus into the receptive field. Each of these neurons did not respond to the stimulus unless an eye movement brought it into its receptive field, nor did it discharge in association with the eye movement unless it brought a stimulus into its receptive field. 4. These neurons were located in the deeper parts of the intermediate layers and had relatively larger receptive fields and movement fields than the cells at the top of the intermediate layers. 5. The predictive responses of most of these neurons (16/18, 89%) did not require that the stimulus be relevant to the monkey's rewarded behavior. However, for some neurons the predictive response was enhanced when the stimulus was the target of a subsequent saccade into the neuron's movement field. 6. Most neurons with predictive responses responded with a similar magnitude and latency to a continuous stimulus that remained on after the saccade, and to the same stimulus when it was only flashed for 50 ms coincident with the onset of the saccade target and thus never appeared within the cell's classical receptive field. 7. The visual response of neurons in the intermediate layers of the colliculus is suppressed during the saccade itself. Neurons that showed predictive responses began to discharge before the saccade, were suppressed during the saccade, and usually resumed discharging after the saccade. 8. Three neurons in the intermediate layers responded tonically from stimulus appearance to saccade without a presaccadic burst. These neurons responded predictively to a stimulus that was going to be the target for a second saccade, but not to an irrelevant flashed stimulus. 9. No superficial layer neuron (0/27) responded predictively when a stimulus would not be brought into their receptive fields by a saccade.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
