I am doing some work on neural mechanisms of saccadic eye
movements based upon van Gisbergen, Robinson, and Gielen's (1981)
model of saccade generation and I was hoping someone might be able
to point out any references relating specifically to biophysical
data on either (or both) omnipause neurons or medium-lead burst
neurons. I am interested in any information relating to ionic
channels within these two neurons as well as any morphological
info on them. If anyone is aware of this type of info I would
greatly appreciate any references relating to it. Please send me email -
I can't imagine others in this group would be too interested in this
material!!
My thanks, in advance.
