Experimental Brain Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The afferent and efferent connections of omnipause neurons involved in saccadic eye movements were studied electrophysiologically in ketamine anesthetized cats. Omnipause neurons were identified by their characteristic discharge pattern which was qualitatively unaltered by ketamine anesthesia.
