Eye movements in the cat evoked by electrical stimulation of the outer geniculate body. 1985

N F Podvigin, and Svetlova VYa, and E V Evpyat'eva, and G I Novikov, and S A Evdokimov

New data were obtained in experiments with unanesthetized animals showing that electrical stimulation of the structures of the outer geniculate body of the cat elicits goal-directed eye movements. Relationships were found between eye-movement amplitude and direction and the position of the eye at the instant of stimulation, as well as the position of the stimulating electrodes in the outer geniculate body. A scheme is proposed for the multilevel interaction of the visual and oculomotor systems during their functioning, and a possible relation is discussed between the described phenomenon and the mechanisms responsible for the foveation of objects during their recognition.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
