[Rapid eye movements (saccades): review of their physiological and anatomical basis and their clinical significance].
Our understanding of the organization 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 organization of rapid eye movements (saccades) is presented. A knowledge of these basic aspects will assist the clinician's investigation and understanding of pathologic eye movements in patients.
