CEREBELLAR NUCLEI IN EYE MOVEMENT CONTROL & ADAPTATION

这项研究的目的是了解小脑是如何 眼球运动。我们知道，小脑在每一个 我们所做的运动，但我们不知道它到底做了什么或它是如何做的 做到了。我们可以通过研究小脑来更快地取得进展 眼球运动比肢体运动或其他运动更重要，因为我们知道 更多的是关于大脑如何产生眼球运动的 动静。我们的研究结果也将帮助我们理解大脑是如何 产生眼球运动。眼球运动是我们眼球运动的重要组成部分 活着。每天我们都会做数以万计的眼球运动来观察 在感兴趣的事情上，并看清楚它们。眼部异常 运动严重降低了我们阅读、观看和视觉指导的能力 我们的其他动作。在其他项目中，我们正在调查 小脑在眼动准确能力中的作用 在某些事情使他们不准确之后。小脑一直是 牵涉到保持我们动作的无意识学习中 准确，但我们不知道它起到了什么作用。1997年，我们发布了 对正常猴子如何适应其快速眼球的详细描述 动静。这一描述将有助于我们研究大脑是如何 修改移动以保持它们的准确性。我们还发布了一份 尾状顶核在慢反应中的作用描述 我们用来看缓慢移动的平滑追逐眼球运动 目标。最后，我们提交了一篇关于如何让许多人重复 快速的眼球运动会影响这些动作的表现。这 信息将帮助我们正确解释眼球运动的数据 我们从猴子身上收集的适应能力。

The goal of this research is to understand how the cerebellum aids eye movements. We know that the cerebellum is important in every movement we make, but we do not know exactly what it does or how it does it. We can make progress faster by investigating the cerebellum with eye movements than with limb or other movements because we know much more about how the brain produces eye movements than any other movements. Our results will also help us understand how the brain produces eye movements. Eye movements are an important part of our lives. Every day we make tens of thousands of eye movements to look at things of interest and see them clearly. Abnormalities in eye movements severely reduce our ability to read, see, and visually guide our other movements. Among other projects, we are investigating the role of the cerebellum in the ability to make eye movements accurate after something has made them inaccurate. The cerebellum has been implicated in the unconscious learning that keeps our movements accurate, but we do not know what role it plays. In 1997 we published a detailed description of how normal monkeys adapt their rapid eye movements. This description will help us investigate how the brain modifies movements to keep them accurate. We also published a description of the role of the caudal fastigial nucleus in the slow smooth-pursuit eye movements that we use to look at slowly moving targets. Finally, we submitted a paper on how making many repeated rapid eye movements affects the performance of these movements. This information will help us correctly interpret data on eye movement adaptation that we collect from monkeys.
