Peripheral and central eye movement disorders

Continuing advances have rendered the neural control of eye movements one of the best understood motor systems, from molecules to complex behaviors. Nevertheless, new discoveries have required re-evaluation of established concepts, from the genetics of disorders that affect extraocular muscles to the way in which the cerebral cortex governs behaviors that encompass several functional classes of eye movements.
