چکیده
DELL'OSSO, L. F., and R. B. DARoFF. Functional organization of the ocular motor system. Aerospace Med. 45(8) : 873-875, 1974. Various stimuli, other than a moving target, have evoked slow eye movements improperly designated "pursuit." Attempts at ex plaining these eye movements have provoked convoluted hypo theses. This confusion can be alleviated by conceptualization of the ocular motor control system as a synergistic interaction of the dual-mode version sybsystem with the vergence subsystem which produces only three basic outputs: fast eye movements (FEM), slow eye movements (SEM), and verKence eye movements (VEM).

The Effect of Cognitive Tasks on the Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Healthy People
Introduction: The majority of the daily life activities involve the concurrent performance of simultaneously challenging motor and cognitive activities, such as talking while walking, which requires the vestibular system for balance. Functional balance allows the brain to interpret and integrate the sensory information from our physical and social environment. This study aimed to investig...
متن کاملOcular Motor Function in Patients with Bilateral Vestibular Weakness
Introduction: Patients with bilateral weakness (BW) have many difficulties in gaze stability that interfere with their normal function. The aim of this study was to evaluate ocular motor functions in patients with BW to better understand the problem of gaze instability in these patients. Materials and Methods: Patients were referred from the Otolaryngology Department for Vestibular Assessmen...
متن کاملSupranuclear control of ocular motility.
Ocular motor behavior is dictated by visual demands. The entire brain is involved in programming and executing of eye movements. Gaze shifts performed under natural conditions require an elaborate supranuclear coordination between various motor and sensory mechanisms. Recently, a wealth of novel data emerging from animal studies along with functional imaging in humans expanded and modified trad...

OBJECTIVE To review the role played by the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) in ocular motor physiology and to characterize a number of syndromes that result from lesions in this eloquent brainstem tract system. BACKGROUND The MLF is responsible for transmitting information that is crucial for the coordination and synchronization of all major classes of eye movements. A number of disease p...
متن کاملFunctional Organization of Adult Motor Cortex Is Dependent upon Continued Protein Synthesis
The functional organization of adult cerebral cortex is characterized by the presence of highly ordered sensory and motor maps. Despite their archetypical organization, the maps maintain the capacity to rapidly reorganize, suggesting that the neural circuitry underlying cortical representations is inherently plastic. Here we show that the circuitry supporting motor maps is dependent upon contin...
