Abstract

New evidence has challenged a widely accepted interpretation of Hering's law of equal innervation, which states that disjunctive saccades are produced by the linear addition of conjugate and vergence innervation commands produced by independent oculomotor subsystems. We hypothesize, instead, that saccades are produced by a monocular premotor control network. A model, based on this hypothesis and consistent with known brain-stem anatomy, simulates realistic disjunctive saccades including initial and late slow vergence movements.
