Istradefylline Improves Impaired Smooth Pursuit Eye Movements in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Neurology and Therapy, 2023 Introduction Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) exhibit alterations in eye movement control, primarily diverse oculomotor deficits which include hypometric saccade and impaired smooth pursuit with reduced pursuit-gain necessitating catch-up saccades.

Spatial localization during open-loop smooth pursuit [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionNumerous previous studies have shown that eye movements induce errors in the localization of briefly flashed stimuli. Remarkably, the error pattern is indicative of the underlying eye movement and the exact experimental condition.

Smooth-pursuit performance during eye-typing from memory indicates mental fatigue [PDF]
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2022 Mental fatigue is known to occur as a result of activities related to e.g. transportation, health-care and military operations. Gaze tracking has wide-ranging applications, with the technology becoming more compact and processing power reducing.

Cancellation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex during smooth pursuit in patients with maculopathy [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologyIntroductionMacular degeneration is associated with loss of central vision, including the fovea. Central visual field loss is associated with impaired smooth pursuit eye movements, and the associated scotoma can lead to target disappearance which may or ...

Smooth pursuit and memory saccades are impaired in early-stage Parkinson’s disease patients [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologyIntroductionParkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc). One of the most prevalent symptoms is eye movement impairment, presenting in 75% of PD

Tracking and perceiving diverse motion signals: Directional biases in human smooth pursuit and perception. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Human smooth pursuit eye movements and motion perception behave similarly when observers track and judge the motion of simple objects, such as dots. But moving objects in our natural environment are complex and contain internal motion. We ask how pursuit

Bilateral lesion of the cerebellar fastigial nucleus: Effects on smooth pursuit acceleration and non-reflexive visually-guided saccades [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Background“Central dizziness” due to acute bilateral midline cerebellar disease sparing the posterior vermis has specific oculomotor signs. The oculomotor region of the cerebellar fastigial nucleus (FOR) crucially controls the accuracy of horizontal ...

Coordination of Smooth Pursuit and Saccades
Vision Research, 2006 Smooth pursuit and saccades are two components of tracking eye movements. Their coordination has usually been studied by investigating latencies of pursuit onset in response to a moving target appearing simultaneously with the disappearance of the stationary fixation target.
