Oculomotor Movements Numerous circuits, at all the levels of the CNS. Repertoire of movements / repertoire of (relatively) distinct systems : Stabilization : Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), Opto-kinetic reflex/nystagmus (OKN).
Fovea-specific : Saccades, Smooth pursuit.

What if the feedback was somwhere else ? Where are the RI ? Are there RI ? The SC could be part of the feedback mechanism (we’ll discuss that soon). The Cerebellum could play a role in the feedback control of saccades ! (Lef`evre et al., 1998)
