title: [The physiologic and anatomic principles of rapid eye movements (saccades) and their clinical significance].
abstract: Our understanding of the organisation of eye movements has been greatly expanded in recent years, mainly due to studies in animals. A review of the clinically important neurophysiological and anatomical aspects of the generation of rapid eye movements (saccades) will be presented. A knowledge of these basic aspects will assist the clinician's investigation and understanding of pathological eye movements in patients.
