'Ocular tracking' refers to visually driven, slow eye movements that stabilize moving images on the retina, thereby facilitating high acuity vision. Recent behavioral studies have shown that the primate brain produces several kinds of ocular tracking responses that operate precisely and consistently, with ultra-short latencies. Electrophysiological studies indicate that these tracking responses are mediated by a pathway that includes the medial superior temporal area of the cerebral cortex. Responses of neurons in this pathway are consistent with the short latencies and complex visual properties observed in behavioral studies of the tracking response.
“眼动跟踪”指的是由视觉驱动的缓慢眼球运动，这种运动可使视网膜上的移动图像稳定下来，从而有助于实现高敏锐度视觉。最近的行为学研究表明，灵长类动物大脑会产生几种眼动跟踪反应，这些反应精确且一致地运作，潜伏期极短。电生理学研究表明，这些跟踪反应是由一条包括大脑皮层内侧颞上区的通路介导的。该通路中神经元的反应与在跟踪反应行为学研究中观察到的短潜伏期和复杂视觉特性相一致。
