Saccades during visual exploration align hippocampal 3-8 Hz rhythms in human and non-human primates

Visual exploration in primates depends on saccadic eye movements that cause alternations of neural suppression and enhancement. This modulation extends beyond retinotopic areas, and is thought to facilitate perception; yet saccades may also influence brain regions critical for forming memories of th...
