Abstract
We review the current state of our knowledge of the neural control of vergence and ocular accommodation in primates including humans. We first describe the critical need for these behaviors for viewing in a three-dimensional world. We then consider the sensory stimuli that drive vergence eye movements and lens accommodation and describe models of the sensorimotor transformations required to drive these motor systems. We discuss the interaction of vergence with saccades to produce high-speed shifts in gaze between objects at different distances and eccentricities. We also cover the normal development of these eye movements as well as the sequelae associated with their maldevelopment. In particular, we examine the neural substrates that produce vergence and lens accommodation, including motoneurons, immediate premotor circuitry, cerebellar and precerebellar regions, and cerebral cortical areas.
期刊介绍：
The Annual Review of Vision Science reviews progress in the visual sciences, a cross-cutting set of disciplines which intersect psychology, neuroscience, computer science, cell biology and genetics, and clinical medicine. The journal covers a broad range of topics and techniques, including optics, retina, central visual processing, visual perception, eye movements, visual development, vision models, computer vision, and the mechanisms of visual disease, dysfunction, and sight restoration. The study of vision is central to progress in many areas of science, and this new journal will explore and expose the connections that link it to biology, behavior, computation, engineering, and medicine.
