Structures in the midbrain that developed early in evolution can be responsible for functions in newborns which in adults are taken over by the cerebral cortex. New evidence for this theory has been ...

OPTOKINETIC nystagmus is the cycle of slow forward and fast return phases of the eye when it follows a continuous movement in the whole visual field. Although optokinetic nystagmus has been frequently ...

Hypnotized subjects who report hallucinating a visual situation which would ordinarily elicit optokinetic nystagmus demonstrate nystagmus under these conditions. They and control subjects are unable ...

Eight hatchling Chelonia mydas were tested in an optokinetic drum to determine if they would perform optokinetic responses. Optomotor responses, head nystagmus, and eye nystagmus were elicited from ...

A clearly defined neuron type has been identified, along with its circuit in the retina in the pathophysiology of idiopathic congenital nystagmus. In a mouse model of the disease, which shows similar ...
