Abstract

Visually guided saccades, memory‐contingent saccades, and antisaccades were studied with an infra‐red reflection technique in 12 patients with idiopathic blepharospasm and in controls. Latencies of the three kinds of saccades were prolonged. Peak velocities and gains did not differ. Our results indicate an initiation defect in the saccadic system, which may be localized in the caudate nucleus.
