  2. Medial longitudinal fasciculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_longitudinal_fasciculus

    This is usually associated with involuntary jerky eye movements of the abducting eye, a syndrome called internuclear ophthalmoplegia. [7] Because multiple sclerosis causes demyelination of the axons of the central nervous system , it can cause internuclear ophthalmoplegia when medial longitudinal fasciculus axons get demyelinated.

  3. Sulcus (morphology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulcus_(morphology)

    Horizontal fissure or Transverse fissure: found between the cerebrum and the cerebellum. Note that a "transverse fissure" can also be found in the liver and lungs. Longitudinal fissure or Medial longitudinal fissure: which divides the cerebrum into the two hemispheres. Occipitoparietal fissure: found between the occipital and parietal lobes of ...

  4. Internuclear ophthalmoplegia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internuclear_ophthalmoplegia

    Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is a disorder of conjugate lateral gaze in which the affected eye shows impairment of adduction. When an attempt is made to gaze contralaterally (relative to the affected eye), the affected eye adducts minimally, if at all. The contralateral eye abducts, however with nystagmus.

  5. Porta hepatis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porta_hepatis

    The right vertical limb of the "H" defines the left and right functional lobes, while the left vertical limb of the "H" defines the right and left anatomical lobes. The horizontal line between the vertical limbs of the "H" represents the porta hepatis. The quadrate and caudate lobe lie superior and inferior to this line respectively.

  6. Eye movement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement

    An example of eye movement over a photograph over the span of just two seconds. Eye movement includes the voluntary or involuntary movement of the eyes. Eye movements are used by a number of organisms (e.g. primates, rodents, flies, birds, fish, cats, crabs, octopus) to fixate, inspect and track visual objects of interests.

    Trace of saccades of the human eye on a face while scanning Saccades during observation of a picture on a computer screen. A saccade (/ s ə ˈ k ɑː d / sə-KAHD; French:; French for 'jerk') is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes between two or more phases of focal points in the same direction. [1]

  9. Parieto-occipital sulcus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parieto-occipital_sulcus

    In neuroanatomy, the parieto-occipital sulcus (also called the parieto-occipital fissure) is a deep sulcus in the cerebral cortex that marks the boundary between the cuneus and precuneus, and also between the parietal and occipital lobes. Only a small part can be seen on the lateral surface of the hemisphere, its chief part being on the medial ...
