Abstract

The extremely rapid conjugate shifts of gaze called saccades are accomplished by a pulse-step change of excitation in the extraocular muscles. Within the last several years, the premotoneuronal circuitry responsible for this innervation pattern has been studied intensively, and this paper summarizes our current understanding of the brain stem mechanisms involved in generating the saccadic trajectory.
