The fifth edition of “Neurology of Eye Movements” is meticulously divided into two interrelated parts. The first part presents a modern synthesis of the anatomical, physiological, and pharmacological foundations of eye movements. It includes current perspectives on the reflexive and voluntary control of gaze, drawing from extensive electrophysiological and inactivation studies in macaques, as well as behavioral studies in humans. These studies incorporate advanced techniques such as functional imaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), along with clinicopathological research in patients with neurological, visual, or vestibular disorders.
Utilizing sophisticated experimental paradigms in both species, this edition explores critical aspects of cognition, memory, volition, and reward. This extensive research highlights the power of eye movements as essential tools in experimental settings. The second part of the book seamlessly applies this synthesis to the clinical and laboratory evaluation of patients exhibiting abnormal eye movements due to a diverse array of disorders—ranging from muscular dystrophy and genetic disorders to dementia and various visual and vestibular conditions.
By providing direct links to figures, tables, boxes, and videos, this book offers a dynamic synthesis of foundational research and clinical findings, shedding new light on disease processes while offering valuable insights into normal brain function.
