Anatomy and physiology of intracellularly labelled omnipause neurons in the cat and squirrel monkey.
Saccadic omnipause neurons (OPNs) were intracellularly labelled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in alert cats and squirrel monkeys. The somas of OPNs were located on or near the midline in the caudal pons and their axons projected to regions of the pontomedullary reticular formation that contain the excitatory and inhibitory burst neurons.
