Visual tracking and the primate flocculus.
Purkinje cells in the primate flocculus discharge specifically in relation to visual tracking, effectively generating a velocity profile of the target during pursuit. It is suggested that these neurons supply oculomotor centers with the velocity command signals needed to support pursuit eye movements.
