Saccades; Omnipause Neurons; Burst Neurons; Fastigial Nucleus |
| Description |
During horizontal saccades, the agonist extraocular muscle contracts vigorously, driven by motoneurons receiving a pulse of innervation from ipsilateral pontine excitatory burst neurons (EBN). Simultaneously, the antagonist muscle relaxes because of a pause in motoneuron innervation due to inputs from contralateral medullary inhibitory burst neurons (IBN). |
