Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The ...

Eye movements are orchestrated by a distributed network spanning cortical, subcortical and cerebellar structures that transform sensory inputs into rapid and precise motor commands. Voluntary and ...

The superior colliculus is a midbrain region that is traditionally thought to help animals orient themselves toward important locations in space, like directing their eyes and head toward a bright ...

When compared with fixation, both smooth pursuit (upper left) and saccadic (lower left) eye movements showed similar patterns of brain activation (red) and deactivation (blue). In contrast, a direct ...

The eyes may reveal how experiences are recalled, according to new Baycrest research that suggests that shifts in eye movements play a critical role in memory retrieval. The findings offer new insight ...

Rapid side-to-side eye movements can help stabilize posture, avoid falls and maintain balance for people with Parkinson's disease, just as they can for healthy people. This seemingly counterintuitive ...

If you quickly move a camera from object to object, the abrupt shift between the two points causes a motion smear that might give you nausea. Our eyes, however, do movements like these two or three ...
