10-3 A mathematical model of saccadic eye movement system based on neuronal activity in superior colliculus and basal ganglia

Abstract

In this study, we propose a mathematical model of the saccadic system based on neuronal activity in superior colliculus and basal ganglia. Fixation neurons and build-up neurons in superior colliculus show antagonistic action and build-up neurons start to discharge sharply after termination of fixation neurons' activity. Our model can reproduce these properties of neural responses.
