Constant frequency microstimulation of the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) in head-restrained monkeys evokes a constant velocity eye movement. Since the PPRF receives significant projections from structures that control coordinated eye-

When humans or monkeys are asked to make saccades to visual targets accompanied by one or more distractors, the two dimensional trajectory of the saccade will sometimes display significant curvature. Port and Wurtz used dual electrode recordings to s

A coordinated movement of the eyes and head in the head-unrestrained condition is often used to change orientation between targets. Under natural conditions, these gaze shifts are typically generated with the eyes roughly centered in the orbits. To a

This paper summarizes recent experiments conducted by the authors — experiments that studied the behavioral characteristics of large gaze shifts and the neural bases of coordinated movements of the eyes and head.

Remembered saccades of rhesus monkeys are markedly influenced by starting eye position. Altering the initial position systematically affects the direction or amplitude of the movements to a striking degree. In general, changes in the horizontal or ve

A method for constructing a simple, durable injection-microelectrode (injectrode) is described. The injectrode can record neuronal activity, stimulate neuronal tissues, or inject substances locally through its tip. The injectrode is lightweight and i

Various conceptual issues have been brought into focus by recent experiments studying the role of the superior colliculus in the control of coordinated movements of the eyes and head, the interaction of saccadic and vergence movements, and cognitive

The superior colliculus is a brainstem structure playing a critical role in orienting movements of the head, pinnae, and eyes. The superior colliculus acts as an important intermediary between sensory and motor signals, issuing motor commands that ar

1. We electrically stimulated the intermediate and deep layers of the superior colliculus (SC) in two rhesus macaques free to move their heads both vertically and horizontally (head unrestrained). Stimulation of the primate SC can elicit high-velocit
