oculomotor control

Oculomotor control refers to the brain's ability to coordinate eye movements to accurately focus on and track objects. It involves complex systems that manage different types of eye movements, such as rapid jumps (saccades), smooth following (smooth pursuit), and adjusting for head movements (vestibulo-ocular reflex). These controls ensure clear vision and proper depth perception. The process relies on neural pathways connecting the brain’s visual and motor areas, allowing seamless, precise eye positioning and movement in response to visual stimuli and environmental changes.
