Prior studies of the central portion of the mesencephalic reticular formation (cMRF) have
shown that in head-restrained monkeys, neurons discharge prior to saccades. Here, we …

The central mesencephalic reticular formation, a region associated with horizontal gaze
control, has recently been shown to project to the supraoculomotor area in primates. The …

The central mesencephalic reticular formation (cMRF) was electrically stimulated in the alert
monkey. Saccadic eye movements were induced to the contralateral side in the horizontal …

The reticular formation of the brainstem contains functional cell groups that are important for
the control of eye, head, or lid movements. The mesencephalic reticular formation is …

Saccadic eye movements are extremely rapid and jerk-like shifts of the eyes (up to 900 deg
s− 1) with which we explore our environment between periods of fixation, and other …

Gaze changes involving the eyes and head are orchestrated by brainstem gaze centers
found within the superior colliculus (SC), paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) …

Converging lines of evidence support a role for the intermediate and deep layers of the
superior colliculus (SC) and the mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF) in the control of …

Single-neuron recording and electrical microstimulation suggest three roles for the
mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF) in oculomotor control: 1) saccade triggering, 2) …

A cytologically distinct group of cells in the rostral mesencephalic reticular formation was
strongly labelled by injections of anterograde tracer substances into the caudal paramedian …
