The Neural
Control of Visually Guided Eye Movements
C. Cortical Mechanisms of Visually Guided Saccadic Eye Movements
After
removal of the superior colliculus monkeys can no longer make express
saccades but continue to make regular saccades as shown in Figure
10. This suggests that the posterior system passing through
the superior colliculus plays a central role in generating rapid, reflex-like
saccadic eye movements.
