✦ Synopsis

Electrical stimulation of the intraorbital part of the motor branches of extraocular muscles, where proprioceptive fibers run, evokes responses in 25% of the units of the striate cortex of the cat. The latency ranges between 25 and 40 msec. Mechanical stretch of extraocular muscles evokes multiunit responses in the striate cortex. The response is abolished by injection of xylocaine into the stretched muscle. The suppression of the response is reversible.

The aim of these investigations was to advance our knowledge of the influence of extrinsic ocular muscle (EOM) stretching on cell excitability of the retinocortical pathway. The initial goal was the lateral geniculate; however, histologic analysis indicated that most cells that responded to stretchi

The afferent connections to layer I of the visual cortex, area 17, of the albino rat were studied using the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). In all animals examined, the majority of labeled cells were observed in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and in the lateral posterior
