Progress in Brain Research V 140

This volume is a cross-disciplinary reference on the behavioural, neurobiological and clinical aspects of eye movements. It includes a large body of new empirical work as well as the principal theoretical viewpoints of leading research groups in this field. Topics discussed in the book include the role of cortical and subcortical brain areas in control of saccadic eye movements, attentional mechanisms in guiding smooth pursuit eye movements, neural mechanisms related to eye-hand coordination, oculomotor deficits in psychiatric disorders, neural mechanisms related to hand-eye coordination and oculomotor deficits in psychiatric disorders, Parkinson's disease and head injury patients. this book addresses a wide audience and will be particularily of interest to researchers in neurophysiology and neuropsychology of vision.
