Afferent and efferent connections of the oculomotor cerebellar vermis in the macaque monkey

Saccadic eye movements were evoked with weak currents applied to a circumscribed vermal area. The area was confined to lobule VII in the majority of the monkeys and coincided with the distribution of saccade‐related neural activity. We defined this area as the oculomotor vermis and studied its anatomical connections with wheat germ‐agglutinin conjugated horseradish peroxidase (WGA/HRP) and HRP.
