| Research Abstract |
We have analyzed neural brainstem mechanism for rapid eye movements (saccades). The superior colliculus (SC) has been known to be involved in controlling saccade, but neural mechanism of triggering saccade has been kept unrevealed for a long time. This study has shown the reciprocal relationship between mechanisms of generation of saccades and visual fixation in the SC, and that this reciprocity itself is deeply involved in triggering mechanism of saccades.
