The intimate nature of oculomotor muscles contracture [PDF]
Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia, 2010 The author makes comments about the shortening and loss of elasticity of the oculomotor muscle that remains slack for some time (contracture), by means of a reasoning based on the Hooke s law and on the papers carried out to demonstrate that a muscle that remains relaxed for some time suffers a shortening due to loss of sarcomeres on the longitudinal ...

Acquired oculomotor muscle fibrosis in infant: case report [PDF]
Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia, 2011 The authors report the case of a 5 year-old boy who up to 2 years old presented normal eyes, when his right eye started to deviate upward and laterally, until be hidden under the superior lid. At the surgery, a strong passive limitation to infraduction of this eye was felt.

Abnormalities of the Oculomotor Nerve in Congenital Fibrosis of the Extraocular Muscles and Congenital Oculomotor Palsy [PDF]
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2007 High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can now directly demonstrate innervation to extraocular muscles and quantify optic nerve size. A quantitative MRI technique was developed to study the oculomotor nerve (CN3) and applied to congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles (CFEOM) and congenital oculomotor palsy.The subarachnoid portions of the ...

Oculomotor adaptation to prisms is not simply a muscle potentiation effect [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1975 An experiment is reported in which subjects pointed to a visual target before and after exposure to prisms. The exposure condition required the subject to look at his feet through leftward deviating prisms while holding his eyes to the right. Aftereffects on pointing were significantly to the right.

Does extraocular muscle proprioception influence oculomotor control? [PDF]
British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2000 Disorders of ocular motility are encountered on a regular basis within ophthalmic practice. They include a wide variety of conditions from non-paralytic strabismus commonly seen in paediatric clinics to acquired restrictive and paralytic conditions, which may be indicative of more serious underlying pathology.

A Physiological Neural Controller of a Muscle Fiber Oculomotor Plant in Horizontal Monkey Saccades [PDF]
ISRN Ophthalmology, 2014 A neural network model of biophysical neurons in the midbrain is presented to drive a muscle fiber oculomotor plant during horizontal monkey saccades. Neural circuitry, including omnipause neuron, premotor excitatory and inhibitory burst neurons, long lead burst neuron, tonic neuron, interneuron, abducens nucleus, and oculomotor nucleus, is developed ...

Motoneurons of twitch and nontwitch extraocular muscle fibers in the abducens, trochlear, and oculomotor nuclei of monkeys [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2001 AbstractEye muscle fibers can be divided into two categories: nontwitch, multiply innervated muscle fibers (MIFs), and twitch, singly innervated muscle fibers (SIFs). We investigated the location of motoneurons supplying SIFs and MIFs in the six extraocular muscles of monkeys.

Delineation of motoneuron subgroups supplying individual eye muscles in the human oculomotor nucleus [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014 The oculomotor nucleus (nIII) contains the motoneurons of medial, inferior and superior recti (MR, IR, SR), inferior oblique (IO) and levator palpebrae (LP) muscles. The delineation of motoneuron subgroups for each muscle is well-known in monkey, but not

Medial transposition of a split lateral rectus muscle for complete oculomotor nerve palsy [PDF]
Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, 2013 To evaluate the effect on ocular alignment of Y splitting the lateral rectus muscle and then reattaching the 2 ends near the medial rectus muscle insertion in patients with complete oculomotor nerve palsy.All eyes with oculomotor nerve palsy treated between May 2008 and February 2010 with Y splitting and transposition of the lateral rectus muscle to ...
