Monocular movement of contralateral eye following cortical stimulation in the coronal sulcus of cat.
Monocular movements of the contralateral eye were demonstrated following the stimulation of the internal kneelike portion of the cortex in the coronal sulcus of the cat. The stimulation of this cortical area in the coronal sulcus yielded rapid medial or slightly oblique ventromedial movement of the contralateral eye. While ablation of the same cortical area produced contralateral eye shift toward the dorsolateral side and the shifted eye became uncontrollable. The results suggested that the control mechanism of eye movement involves unilateral innervation system to the contralateral side as seen in the extremities.
