Reports: Unit Activity in Accessory Optic System in Alert Monkeys

GERALD WESTHEIMER 1 and SIDNEY M. BLAIR 1

1 Department of Physiology-Anatomy, University of California, Berkeley, Calif. 94720

Single units recorded in the region of the nucleus of the transpeduncular tract in alert Macaques showed movement sensitivity with features markedly different than those of retinal ganglion cells. The units responded during pursuit eye movement in the direction for which target movement activated them. They were not affected by saccadic eye movements or by other sensory or motor inputs.

Key Words: accessory optic system • pursuit slip • single unit • movement sensitivity • eye movement
