Central Organization and Modeling of Eye‐Head Coordination during Orienting Gaze Shifts a

An important function of motor control is to coordinate the trajectories of many simultaneously moving and coupled body segments. Perhaps the best understood of such neural systems is the one, reviewed here, that coordinates the eyes and head during a rapid saccadelike orienting movement of the visual axis, referred to as gaze. In this text the main characteristics of normal gaze shifts in alert subjects will be reviewed, and a model control scheme will be proposed which can duplicate the experimental data with several important implications.
