In two monkeys, we recorded spontaneous eye movements before and after ablation of the cerebellar nodulus and uvula (Nod/Uv). In both monkeys, there was an increase in upward ocular drift (downbeat nystagmus [DBN]) in darkness (M1: 1.5 degrees/s pre, 3.4 degrees/s post; M2: 1.3 degrees/s pre, 7.0 degrees/s post), but not in light. There was little effect of orbital position on drift velocity. These findings suggest that the Nod/Uv may play a role in the bias component of DBN.
在两只猴子身上,我们记录了小脑小结和蚓垂(Nod/Uv)切除前后的自发性眼球运动。在两只猴子中,黑暗条件下向上的眼球漂移(下跳性眼球震颤 [DBN])均增加(猴子1:术前1.5度/秒,术后3.4度/秒;猴子2:术前1.3度/秒,术后7.0度/秒),但在光照条件下没有增加。眼眶位置对漂移速度影响很小。这些发现表明,Nod/Uv可能在下跳性眼球震颤的偏倚成分中起作用。
