Convergence of Frontal Eye Field and Medial Cerebellar Nucleus (Fastigial) Projections in Brainstem Preoculomotor Nuclei

我们知道大脑中有几个区域 但我们对它们的位置知之甚少 相互连接的眼睛，以协调和 响应时尚 研究一个这样的互连两个网站 将被注入两种不同的神经解剖学 追踪器 实验将测试大脑皮层的前眼 场连接到相同的细胞作为小脑顶 核投射 电子显微镜将用来证明 如果所识别的轴突终止于同一神经元，并且如果是， 突触之间的关系是什么 研究应增加 我们对眼球运动是如何以及在哪里被控制的知识。

We know several of the areas in the brain which control eye movement but we know little about where they are inter connected for the eyes to move in a coordinated and responsive fashion. To study one such interconnection two sites in the brain will be injected with two different neuroanatomical tracers. The experiment will test if the cortical frontal eye field is connected to the same cells as the cerebellar fastigial nucleus projections. Electron microscopy will be used to prove if the identified axons terminate on the same neuron and if so what the synaptic relationships are. The study should increase our knowledge of how and where eye movement is controlled.
