Abstract

Sudden movements of the visual scene elicit ocular following responses (OFRs) with ultra-short latencies in primates. The OFRs assist in the rapid stabilization of gaze with respect to the surroundings, and there is substantial evidence that, in monkeys, it is mediated in large part by cortical visual processing. Recent studies uncovered most of the mechanisms of visual motion processing underlying the motor control of the OFRs in humans and monkeys. This paper reviews a set of behavioral findings obtained from such recent studies and some latest findings of cortical activities during OFRs.
