Introduction and Muscular Anatomy Eye movements are dynamic physiological processes integral to the function of the visual system, allowing for the sampling and stable interpretation of the external environment. These movements are the result of the highly synchronized contraction and relaxation of the extrinsic ocular muscles which surround the eyes. Proper function of this motor […]
Defining After-Nystagmus After-nystagmus, often abbreviated as AN, is a highly specific physiological phenomenon defined as the sustained, involuntary mobility of the eyeballs occurring immediately following the cessation of continuous head or body rotation. It represents a fundamental component of the vestibular system’s reflexive response mechanism, specifically the failure of the system to instantly reset following […]
