The Brain of the African Wild Dog. VI. The Motor System
Neurofilament H‐immunostained coronal section through the rostral portion of the hypoglossal nucleus of the African wild dog brain. Note the presence of a distinct fascicle of protoplasmic commissural dendrites between the nuclei. This feature may be related to complex control of the tongue and vocalizations in this socially complex species.

A Biomechanical Model of Human Oculomotor Plant Kinematics Based Upon Geometric Algebra [PDF]
A biomechanical model of the human oculomotor plant kinematics in 3-D as a function of muscle length changes is presented. It can represent a range of alternative interpretations of the data as a function of one parameter.

Evidence exists for an additional inhibitory accommodative control system mediated by the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This work aims to show the relative prevalence of sympathetic inhibition in young emmetropic and myopic adults, and to evaluate the effect of sympathetic facility on accommodative and oculomotor function ...

GATA Transcription Factors: A Cross‐Road for Erythropoiesis, Neurodevelopment, and Synucleinopathies
ABSTRACT Alpha‐synuclein (α‐syn), a 140 amino acid protein, is abundantly expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the erythrocytes, playing a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other synucleinopathies.

Input Sources and Properties of Position-Sensitive Oculomotor Fibres in the Rock Lobster, Panulirus Interruptus (Randall) [PDF]
Sets of head-up, head-down, eye-up and eye-down motor fibres were studied in the oculomotor nerve of the rock lobster. An eye-withdrawal fibre was also investigated.

Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles
Background : Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) describes a group of rare congenital eye movement disorders that result from the dysfunction of all or part of the oculomotor (CN 3) and the trochlear (CN 4) nerves, and/or the muscles ...

Action and behavior: a free-energy formulation [PDF]
We have previously tried to explain perceptual inference and learning under a free-energy principle that pursues Helmholtz’s agenda to understand the brain in terms of energy minimization. It is fairly easy to show that making inferences about the causes
