Neurophysiology of Eye Movements: Lateral Eye Movements and Basal Ganglion Connections - P, Lab Reports of Biological Psychology
An overview of the neurophysiology of lateral eye movements, focusing on the role of the abducens nucleus and the basal ganglion connections in the motor system. It covers the anatomical model, input, within, and output connections, as well as the timing and initiation of saccade movements.
