Abstract

Movements of the visual scene evoke short-latency ocular following responses. We investigated neural activities in the medial superior temporal (MST) area of the cerebral cortex, the dorsolateral pontine nucleus (DLPN) of the brain stem, and the ventral paraflocculus of the cerebellum of behaving monkeys during brief, sudden movements of a large-field visual stimulus, eliciting ocular following. In all of these areas, short-latency neural responses before the onset of the eye movements were observed. Deficits in ocular following responses were produced by focal chemical lesions in either MST or DLPN. Furthermore, electrical stimulation in the ventral paraflocculus evoked short-latency eye movements
