Our findings suggest the vestibulo‐ocular reflex function may be associated with visuospatial perception and learning in Parkinson's disease. Abstract Background Visuospatial impairment is one of the most frequent cognitive deficits in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Evidence for direct control of eye movements during reading. [PDF]
It is well established that fixation durations during reading vary with processing difficulty, but there are different views on how oculomotor control, visual perception, shifts of attention, and lexical (and higher cognitive) processing are coordinated.

Neural Dynamics of Saccadic and Smooth Pursuit Eye Movement Coordination during Visual Tracking of Unpredictably Moving Targets [PDF]
How does the brain use eye movements to track objects that move in unpredictable directions and speeds? Saccadic eye movements rapidly foveate peripheral visual or auditory targets and smooth pursuit eye movements keep the fovea pointed toward an ...

The Pattern and Stages of Atrophy in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2: Volumetrics from ENIGMA‐Ataxia
Abstract Background Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive deterioration in both motor coordination and cognitive function. Atrophy of the cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord are core features of SCA2; however, the evolution and pattern of whole‐brain atrophy in SCA2 remain ...

Selective modulation of visual sensitivity during fixation [PDF]
During periods of steady fixation, we make small amplitude ocular movements, termed microsaccades, at a rate of 1-2 every second. Early studies provided evidence that visual sensitivity is reduced during microsaccades - akin to the well-established ...

In search of oculomotor capture during film viewing: Implications for the balance of top-down and bottom-up control in the saccadic system [PDF]
In the laboratory, the abrupt onset of a visual distractor can generate an involuntary orienting response: this robust oculomotor capture effect has been reported in a large number of studies (e.g.

The time course of attentional and oculomotor capture reveals a common cause [PDF]
Eye movements are often misdirected toward a distractor when it appears abruptly, an effect known as oculomotor capture. Fundamental differences between eye movements and attention have led to questions about the relationship of oculomotor capture to the

Peri-saccadic compression to two locations in a two-target choice saccade task [PDF]
When visual stimuli are presented at the onset of a saccadic eye movement they are seen compressed onto the target location of the saccade. This peri-saccadic compression is believed to result from internal feedback pathways between oculomotor and visual

Multi-modal representation of effector modality in frontal cortex during rule switching. [PDF]
We report a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study which investigated whether brain areas involved in updating task rules within the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex show activity related to the modality of motor response used in the task.
