[Types of eye movement patterns induced by electric stimulation of the lateral geniculate body of the cat].

Three types of eye movement patterns evoked by electrical stimulation of the lateral geniculate nucleus were distinguished in cats. The first type is characterized by parallel eye movements. The second type is formed by goal-direction eye movements, while the third one--by centering saccades. Obtained results are compared with data received by electrical stimulation of superior colliculus and their possible physiological significance is discussed.
