In these children, the horizontal optokinetic reflex that usually helps us to hold our gaze steady is lost. In about 70% of the cases the culprit has been identified: a gene sitting on the X ...

The optokinetic reflex causes eyes to drift horizontally from side-to-side-- for example, as we watch the scenery through a window of a moving train. The vestibulo-ocular reflex adjusts our eye ...
To study the function of these brain regions, the team compared brain activity in healthy mice with mice who lack the optokinetic reflex - either because of a genetic disease that makes the retina ...

The optokinetic system is stimulated by any coherent movement of a large portion of the visual scene. Accordingly, to test the optokinetic system in laboratory conditions, the stimulation is usually ...
