Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) often compensate for their motor deficits by guiding
their movements visually. A wide range of ocular and visual disorders threatens the patients' …

Following a period of quiescence at the end of last century, the study of microsaccades has
now regained strong impetus and broad attention within the vision research community. This …

Humans rely on the fovea, the small region of the retina where receptors are most densely
packed, for seeing fine spatial detail. Outside the fovea, it is well established that a variety of …

We reviewed basal ganglia (BG) dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) based on recent
findings on saccade performance. Hypometria in all saccade paradigms and impaired …

Objectives: The basal ganglia (BG) play an important role in controlling saccades. Deep
brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is widely used as a treatment of …

Eye movements are a source of valuable information to both clinicians and scientists as
abnormalities of them frequently act as clues to the localization of a disease process …

The basal ganglia (BG) are a group of subcortical structures involved in diverse functions,
such as motor, cognition and emotion. However, the BG do not control these functions …

Background The basal ganglia (BG) are thought to play an important role in the control of
eye movements. Accordingly, the broad variety of subtle oculomotor alterations that has …

The frontal cortex and basal ganglia form a set of parallel but mostly segregated circuits
called cortico-basal ganglia loops. The oculomotor loop controls eye movements and can …
