Saccadic System in Visuo-Spatial Working Memory and Visual Attention

EDN: YXHHCF
Abstract
Working memory is a mechanism that maintains relevant information in an active, easily accessible state for mental analysis and behavioral control. While the cerebellum was long considered solely a motor center, its role in cognitive processes has only recently gained significant attention. There has been a lack of comprehensive research into the complex relationships between the theoretical construct of working memory, the functioning of visual attention, the anatomy of the saccadic system, and the specific role of the cerebellum in these processes. This analytical review examines neuroimaging, neuroanatomical, morphofunctional, and behavioral studies on the role of the saccadic system and the cerebellum in the neurophysiological support of visual attention and visuo-spatial working memory. The focus is on the anatomical pathways implementing complex sensorimotor processes through eye movements. Visual attention, working memory, and the cerebellum correlate as follows: attentional shifts precede saccades; the frontal eye fields and parietal cortex support spatial representations; brainstem generators provide phasic and tonic signals to the oculomotor muscles.
