Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles
Oman Journal of Ophthalmology, 2010 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 ...

Modulation of oculomotor control during reading of mirrored and inverted texts [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The interplay between cognitive and oculomotor processes during reading can be explored when the spatial layout of text deviates from the typical display. In this study, we investigate various eye-movement measures during reading of text with experimentally manipulated layout (word-wise and letter-wise mirrored-reversed text as well as inverted and ...

Input Sources and Properties of Position-Sensitive Oculomotor Fibres in the Rock Lobster, Panulirus Interruptus (Randall) [PDF]
, 1972 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.

α2-chimaerin regulates a key axon guidance transition during development of the oculomotor projection [PDF]
, 2013 The ocular motor system consists of three nerves which innervate six muscles to control eye movements. In humans, defective development of this system leads to eye movement disorders, such as Duane Retraction Syndrome, which can result from mutations in ...

Scaling functional patterns of skeletal and cardiac muscles: New non-linear elasticity approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Responding mechanically to environmental requests, muscles show a surprisingly large variety of functions. The studies of in vivo cycling muscles qualified skeletal muscles into four principal locomotor patterns: motor, brake, strut, and spring.

Function-Theoretic Explanation and the Search for Neural Mechanisms [PDF]
, 2017 A common kind of explanation in cognitive neuroscience might be called functiontheoretic: with some target cognitive capacity in view, the theorist hypothesizes that the system computes a well-defined function (in the mathematical ...

Action and behavior: a free-energy formulation [PDF]
, 2010 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

Development of a Virtual Reality Application for Oculomotor Examination Education Based on Student-Centered Pedagogy [PDF]
This work-in-progress paper discusses the use of student-centered pedagogy to teach clinical oculomotor examination via Virtual Reality (VR). Traditional methods, such as PowerPoint slides and lab activities, are often insufficient for providing hands-on experience due to the high cost of clinical equipment.
