The anatomy and physiology of the ocular motor system
AKE Horn, RJ Leigh - Handbook of clinical neurology, 2011 - Elsevier
Accurate diagnosis of abnormal eye movements depends upon knowledge of the purpose,
properties, and neural substrate of distinct functional classes of eye movement. Here, we …

Projections from the brain to the spinal cord in the mouse
The cells that project from the brain to the spinal cord have previously been mapped in a
wide range of mammalian species, but have not been comprehensively studied in the …

A central mesencephalic reticular formation projection to the Edinger–Westphal nuclei
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 …

A central mesencephalic reticular formation projection to medial rectus motoneurons supplying singly and multiply innervated extraocular muscle fibers
We recently demonstrated a bilateral projection to the supraoculomotor area from the central
mesencephalic reticular formation (cMRF), a region implicated in horizontal gaze changes …

Central mesencephalic reticular formation control of the near response: lens accommodation circuits
To view a nearby target, the three components of the near response are brought into play: 1)
the eyes are converged through contraction of the medial rectus muscles to direct both …
