Saccades during Attempted Fixation in Parkinsonian Disorders and Recessive Ataxia: From Microsaccades to Square-Wave Jerks
During attempted visual fixation, saccades of a range of sizes occur. These "fixational saccades" include microsaccades, which are not apparent in regular clinical tests, and "saccadic intrusions", predominantly horizontal saccades that interrupt accurate fixation. Square-wave jerks (SWJs), the most common type of saccadic intrusion, consist of an initial saccade away from the target followed, ...
متن کاملThe effects of fixation target size and luminance on microsaccades and square-wave jerks
A large amount of classic and contemporary vision studies require subjects to fixate a target. Target fixation serves as a normalizing factor across studies, promoting the field's ability to compare and contrast experiments. Yet, fixation target parameters, including luminance, contrast, size, shape and color, vary across studies, potentially affecting the interpretation of results. Previous re...
متن کاملSlowed Saccades and Increased Square Wave Jerks in Essential Tremor
BACKGROUND Eye movements in essential tremor (ET) are poorly described and may present useful information on the underlying pathophysiology of the disorder. METHODS Sixty patients with ET, including 15 de novo untreated patients, and 60 age-matched controls constitute the study population. A video-based eye tracker was used to assess binocular eye position. Oculomotor function was assessed wh...
متن کاملMacro square wave jerks.
Quantitative eye movement recordings in a patient with multiple sclerosis who had both macro square wave jerks and an internuclear ophthalmoparesis supported the concept of an internal brain-stem monitor that mediates corrective eye movements. A brain-stem model of this monitor illustrates the patient's motility disorder and the normal function of providing synergistic version and vergence corr...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Spontaneous Square-Wave Jerks in the Healthy Macaque Monkey during Visual Fixation
Saccadic intrusions (SIs), predominantly horizontal saccades that interrupt accurate fixation, include square-wave jerks (SWJs; the most common type of SI), which consist of an initial saccade away from the fixation target followed, after a short delay, by a return saccade that brings the eye back onto target. SWJs are present in most human subjects, but are prominent by their increased frequen...
