A Neural Mechanism for Microsaccade Generation in the Primate Superior Colliculus

During fixation, the eyes are not still, but often exhibit microsaccadic movements. The function of microsaccades is controversial, largely because the neural mechanisms responsible for their generation are unknown. Here we show that the superior colliculus (SC), a retinotopically organized structur...
