Brain networks {premotor network} can control eye movements using recurrent pathways.
functions Separate premotor networks control smooth and saccadic eye movements. Separate premotor networks control horizontal and vertical movements.
input
Premotor network receives vestibular-sense input from semicircular canals. Vestibular nucleus signals use velocity coding. On brainstem sides, medial-vestibular-nucleus neurons interconnect with prepositus-hypoglossius neurons and with intermediate types. Prepositus hypoglossius neuron signals use position coding. Brainstem sides interconnect through recurrent inhibitory pathway.
