  • Title: Mesencephalic neurons controlling lens accommodation in the cat.
    Author: Bando T, Tsukuda K, Yamamoto N, Maeda J, Tsukahara N.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1981 May 25; 213(1):201-4. PubMed ID: 7237144.
    Abstract:
    Thirty units were found in the midbrain of the anesthetized cat which discharged in correlation with spontaneously occurring lens accommodation. The frequency of spike potentials increased before the onset of the accommodation response. Increased discharges were followed by a silent period. These units were driven orthodromically by stimulating the interpositus nucleus of the cerebellum and the posterior commissure. Eleven of these units were identified antidromically as parasympathetic oculomotor neurons.
