Major pathways related to smooth-pursuit eye movements. Major pathways related to smooth-pursuit (A,B). Open arrowheads with dashed lines in (B) schematically indicate a proposed smooth-pursuit efference copy loop between the caudal FEF and the basal ganglia through the thalamus which is not shown in (A) (adapted from Cui et al., 2003). Abbreviations: DLPN, dorsolateral pontine nucleus; DMPN, dorsomedial pontine nucleus; INC, interstitial nucleus of Cajal; MT, middle temporal visual area; MST, medial superior temporal visual area; NRTP, nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis; NPH, nucleus prepositus hypoglossi; VOR, vestibulo-ocular reflex. For further explanation, see text. (A) Modified from Fukushima (2003a,b) and Fukushima et al. (2006, 2011a).
