PG - 525-538 LID - 10.1152/jn.00075.2018 [doi] AB - Saccades adapt to persistent natural or artificially imposed dysmetrias. The characteristics and circuitry of saccade adaptation have been revealed using a visually guided task (VGT) where the vectors of the target step and the intended saccade command are the same. However, in real life, another saccade occasionally intervenes before the saccade to the target occurs. This necessitates an updating of the intended saccade to account for the intervening saccadic displacement, which dissociates the visual target signal and the intended saccade command. We determined whether the adaptation process is similar for VGT and updated saccades by studying the transfer of adaptation between them. The ultimate visual target was dissociated from the intended saccade command with double-step saccade tasks (DSTs) in which two targets are flashed sequentially at different locations while the monkey maintains fixation. The resulting saccades toward the first and second targets occur in the dark. The transfer of visually guided saccade adaptation to the second saccades of a DST and vice versa depended on the eccentricity of the second visual target, and not the second saccade command. If a target with the same eccentricity as the adapted target appears briefly during the intersaccadic interval of a DST, more adaptation transfers. Because a brief appearance of the visual target either before the first saccade or during the intersaccadic interval influences how much adaptation transfer the second saccade will express, the processing of adaptation and DST updating may overlap. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Adaptation and the spatial updating of saccades are thought to be independent processes. When we dissociate the visual target and the intended saccade command, the transfer of visually guided saccade adaptation to the saccades of the double-step saccade tasks (DST) and vice versa is driven by a visual not motor error. The visual target has an effect until the second saccade of a DST occurs. Therefore, the processing of adaptation and the spatial updating of saccades may overlap.
