Abstract

Recordings of eye movements and single-neurone microelectrode recordings of the superior colliculus in cats show that, for each saccadic movement, their eyes start near to the centre of the orbit so that the coordinates of visual and auditory space are aligned, and complex neural compensation of auditory or visual inputs to the superior colliculus is unnecessary. © 1980 Nature Publishing Group.
