Abstract

Cats with pretrigeminal brainstem transection were used for experiments. In such cats only vertical eye movements are present. A light slit or a black stick (1° × 4°) were moved with 10°/cm speed along the vertical meridian or parallel up to 40° in the nasal or temporal hemifield. The following movements were evoked from the whole area, but at the periphery their latency was longer and their velocity lower than in the center of the retina. The ocular following reflex can be controlled by the retinal periphery in the cat.
