Saccadic Pathways in the Brainstem and Cerebellum & Mechanism for Saccadic Dysmetria in Wallenberg Syndrome - Normal Function of the Brainstem/Cerebellar Saccadic Pathways | The inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP) carries climbing fibers to the dorsal vermis, and these fibers have an inhibitory influence over the Purkinje cells. These Purkinje cells normally inhibit the ipsilateral fastigial nucleus, and the fastigial nucleus projects to the contralateral inhibitory burs... | Image |

|
Semicircular Pathways | Once the semicircular canal fibers leave the peripheral labyrinth, they synapse in the ipsilateral vestibular nucleus, and then ascend to the ocular motor nuclei. This enables the vestibulo-ocular reflex to respond to head movements in the plane of any canal or combination of canals. | Text |

Slow Horizontal, Vertical and Oblique Saccades in Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type I | This is a patient presenting with horizontal diplopia who was found to have divergence insufficiency, an esotropia greater at distance than near in the absence of abduction paresis. She also had very slow saccades, more so vertically than horizontally. This is particularly noticeable when asking h... | Image/MovingImage |
