Abstract
Purkinje cells in the primate flocculus discharge specifically in relation to visual tracking, effectively generating a velocity profile of the target during pursuit. It is suggested that these neurons supply oculomotor centers with the velocity command signals needed to support pursuit eye movements.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
