The cerebral pathways of optokinetic nystagmus: a neuro-anatomical study.
Abnormalities of optokinetic nystagmus are described in a patient with pathologically proven bilateral infarcts in the middle cerebral artery territories. There were no other central nervous system lesions. These abnormalities of eye movement are interpreted as indicating an inhibitory effect of the frontal eye fields upon the occipital lobes.
