Studies undertaken in head-restrained animals have long implicated the omnipause neurons (OPNs) in the initiation of saccadic eye movements. These inhibitory neurons discharge tonically but cease firing just before and during saccades in all directions. By recording from OPNs in alert behaving head-
Recent studies have shown that the interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC) in the midbrain reticular formation is involved in the conversion of vertical semicircular canal signals into eye position during vertical vestibulo-ocular reflexes. Secondary vestibulo-ocular relay neurons related to the vertica
