Experiments that demonstrated a role for the substantia nigra in eye movements have played an important role in our understanding of the function of the basal ganglia in behavior more broadly. In this review we explore more recent experiments that extend the role of the substantia nigra pars reticulata from a simple gate for eye movements to include a role in cognitive processes for eye movements. We review recent evidence suggesting that basal ganglia nuclei beyond the substantia nigra may also play a role in eye movements and the cognitive events leading up to the production of eye movements. We close by pointing out some unresolved questions in our understanding of the relationship of basal ganglia nuclei and eye movements.
实验证明黑质在眼球运动中的作用在我们更广泛地理解基底神经节在行为中的功能方面发挥了重要作用。在这篇综述中,我们探讨了最近的一些实验,这些实验将黑质网状部的作用从眼球运动的简单门控扩展到包括眼球运动的认知过程中的作用。我们回顾了最近的证据,表明黑质以外的基底神经节核可能也在眼球运动和产生眼球运动之前的认知事件中发挥作用。最后,我们指出了我们对基底神经节核与眼球运动关系的理解中一些尚未解决的问题。
