Abstract

Neuroanatomical Structures in Extraocular Muscles and Their Potential Implication in the Management of Strabismus

Highlights

  • Recent studies have promoted the concept that structures associated with extraocular muscles and the surrounding canopy of connective tissue play important roles in the control of eye movements, yet the neural substrate underlying their function is not fully resolved.Structural and functional changes occur in the human oculomotor system over the entire course of life

  • Tuning and adaptation Morphologic alterations occur in the visual system with the passage of time, and the oculomotor system must make adaptations in response to all structural changes caused by growth and aging

  • This capability seems to rely on receptors in the extraocular muscles, as suggested in several histologic and clinical studies

Biomedical Research Unit, Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, University of South-Eastern Norway, Campus Kongsberg, Norway. Keywords Extraocular muscles Sensory receptors Oculomotor anomalies Strabismus Key points Human extraocular muscles contain neural structures important for the development and maintenance of binocular vision. Strabismus and other oculomotor anomalies may be attributable to developmental delay or acquired dysfunctions associated with these structures. Treatment options and their potential implications are discussed
