Abstract

The cerebellar control of orienting behavior toward visual targets was studied in the head-unrestrained cat by analyzing the deficits of saccadic gaze shifts after unilateral injection of muscimol in the caudal part of the fastigial nucleus (cFN). Gaze shifts are rendered strongly inaccurate by muscimol cFN inactivation. The characteristics of gaze dysmetria are specific to the direction of the movement with respect to the inactivated cFN. Gaze shifts directed toward the injected side are hypermetric. Irrespective of their starting position, all these ipsiversive gaze shifts overshoot the target by a constant horizontal error (or bias) to terminate at a "shifted goal" location. In particular, when gaze is directed initially at the future target's location, a response with an amplitude corresponding to the bias moves gaze away from the actual target. Additionally, when gaze is initially in between the target and this shifted goal location, the response again is directed toward the latter. This deficit of ipsiversive gaze shifts is characterized by a consistent increase in the y intercept of the relationship between horizontal gaze amplitude and horizontal retinal error. Slight increases in the slope sometimes are observed as wel...Continue Reading
