Description |
The descending cortical pathways for horizontal saccades are believed to pass through the paramedian midbrain to reach the premotor saccade burst neurons in the contralateral pons, as corroborated by previous reports of unilateral midbrain lesions causing contralateral horizontal gaze palsy. Evidence for the precise anatomical level (midrain versus pons) for their decussation in humans; is scarce. |
