Memory and decision making in the frontal cortex during visual motion processing for smooth pursuit eye movements.

9 Jun 2009 Cortical motor areas are thought to contribute "higher-order processing," but what that processing might include is unknown. Previous studies of the smooth pursuit-related discharge of supplementary eye field (SEF) neurons have not distinguished ... Read more...

The effect of change in clinical state on eye movement dysfunction in schizophrenia.

12 Oct 2008 Measures of eye movement dysfunction have been considered as candidate endophenotypes for the study of genetic liability in schizophrenia. In this respect it is crucial to confirm a clinical state independentce of these measures. Twenty people with ... Read more...

Effects of second-generation antipsychotic medication on smooth pursuit performance in antipsychotic-naive schizophrenia.

29 Sep 2008 CONTEXT: Analyses of smooth pursuit eye movement parameters in patients with schizophrenia provide information about the integrity of neural networks mediating motion perception, sensorimotor transformation, and cognitive processes such as ... Read more...
