Abstract

Slow disjunctive eye movement similar to ocular convergence was evoked by microstimulation in parts of the lateral suprasylvian area (LSA) in alert cats. A tungsten-in-glass microelectrode was used for stimulation, and eye movement was monitored using the magnetic search coil method. The velocity-versus-amplitude relationship of disjunctive eye movement evoked by microstimulation was comparable to that of ocular convergence evoked by presenting a visual target. It is suggested that the LSA plays a role in controlling convergence eye movement.
