| Abstract | 1. This study was intended to test the candidature of the prepositus-vestibular nuclear complex for being the location of the oculomotor neural integrator (Robinson's integrator). 2. Microinjections of kainic acid (2 micrograms dissolved in 1 microliter) were made in awake cats. Injection sites were located either in the prepositus hypoglossi nucleus (p.h.), the medial vestibular nucleus (m.v.n.), the medial longitudinal fasciculus (m.l.f.) or in the magnocellular tegmental field of the reticular formation. 3. Theory predicts that a complete disabling of the neural integrator will cause (a) an exponential post-saccadic drift whose time constant will be 0.16 s in the dark (b) a phase lead of +93 deg as the vestibulo-ocular reflex is tested at 0.10 Hz in the dark and (c) a nearly complete abolition of the optokinetic nystagmus (o.k.n.). 4. About 1 h after a unilateral kainic acid injection in the p.h., we observed (a) a large bilateral post-saccadic drift (time constant sometimes as low as 0.2 s) (b) a large phase lead at 0.10 Hz (range: from +69 to +98 deg) (c) an abolition of the o.k.n. control injection of phosphate buffer in the p.h. did not produce any deficit. 5. A unilateral kainic acid injection in the m.v.n. induced a nystagmus followed by signs of bilateral failure of the neural integrator similar to those observed after kainic acid injection in the p.h. 6. Injection near the mid-line, between the two p.h. nuclei, induced a defect of the neural integrator less than that observed after kainic acid injection in either the p.h. or the m.v.n. Injection of kainic acid in the magnocellular tegmental field of the reticular formation did not produce any sign of failure of the neural integrator. No post-saccadic drift was observed. 7. We have concluded that (a) the p.h. nucleus is involved in the integration processing, and that (b) the m.v.n. is involved either in the integration processing or in the relaying of the output of the neural integrator to the oculomotoneurones. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
