Neuro- Ophthalmology Neuronal Control of Eye Movements
Each of us performs thousands of eye movements every day without being
aware of how the brain controls them. The oculomotor system is one of the best
understood motor systems not only with regard to premotor centers in the central
nervous system, but also with regard to the peripheral muscles moving the eye.
This has been made possible by intensive multidisciplinary research, including
ophthalmologists, neurologists and basic scientists, and is reflected in comprehensive
textbooks [i.e. Leigh RJ, Zee DS: The Neurology of Eye Movements.
