 Corollary discharge has helped me better understand vision and hallucinations. In my first web paper a Revision of Vision, I wrote about vision as a function of the brain, that what we see has to do with what neurons are active (whether due to outside stimuli or processes within the brain). However, I had no background to say what specifically would cause the brain to activate its own neurons. This week we learned that CPGs interact across the NS with sensory input, influencing how that input is interpreted. The brain's own "outputs" altering how our sensory inputs are translated supports my claims, that what we see has just as much to do with what our eyes tell us (sensory input) as what our brains tell us (CPGs/corollary discharge). Corollary discharge helps us make sense of behavior in terms of the neurons because it shows how connected all the neurons are to each other; they can "check" each other.
