| Abstract |
Kenji Ohtsuka, MD and his colleagues at the Sapporo Medical University have investigated the central organization of the near response with anatomical and neurophysiologic studies in cats. Based on their data and clinical observations, they proposed that the rostral pole of the superior colliculus has a critical role in the control of accommodation, vergence, and fixation. Although the central pathways have yet to be fully worked out, the contributions of Dr. Ohtsuka, who died in 2005, have laid an important foundation in the understanding of these functions. |
