Abstract
The properties of eye movements evoked by microstimulation of the cerebellar vermis, lobules V–VII, were investigated in encéphale isolé cats. The evoked eye movements tended to reach the same final goal in the orbit irrespective of initial eye position. The goal position depended on stimulus intensity. In contrast with the monkey, the goal of the eye movement lay within the oculomotor range. The goal position of the eye movements evoked by simultaneous stimuli delivered to two sites corresponded with the point which was obtained by the vectorial addition of the two eye movements evoked by the stimulation of each site. These findings suggest that the cat vermal lobules V–VII play an important role in the control of horizontal and vertical eye position in the orbit.
