Hypothetical explanation of selective saccadic palsy caused by pontine lesion.
Recent clinical neuropathologic reports are inconsistent with previous models of how pontine neural circuits generate saccadic eye movements. We present a hypothetical explanation of these and other clinical and experimental findings based on a new model that accurately predicts the eye signs in pontine lesions.
