"Lack of Smooth Pursuit" is a scorable clue on the NHTSA's standardized field sobriety tests. The clue, in combination with others, may be used to determine if a person is impaired by alcohol and/or drugs. Drugs causing lack of smooth pursuit include depressants, some inhalants, and dissociative anesthetics (such as phencyclidine or ketamine).
Though slow nystagmus closely resembles smooth pursuit eye movements, it is distinct; several species that do not exhibit smooth pursuit nonetheless have slow nystagmus during OKR (though in humans, it is possible to substitute slow nystagmus for smooth pursuit during a version of OKR referred to as "look nystagmus", in which subjects are ...
Conjugate eye movements can be in any direction, and can accompany both saccadic eye movements and smooth pursuit eye movements. [1] Conjugate eye movements are used to change the direction of gaze without changing the depth of gaze. This can be used to either follow a moving object, or change focus entirely.
Primates and many other vertebrates use three types of voluntary eye movement to track objects of interest: smooth pursuit, vergence shifts [1] and saccades. [2] These types of movements appear to be initiated by a small cortical region in the brain's frontal lobe. [3] [4] This is corroborated by removal of the frontal lobe. In this case, the ...

I realize more needs to be added about the cortical and subcortical circuitry of pursuit, and it should really be cited more specifically. --Mahaffsp 00:13, 20 December 2006 (UTC) This page could greatly benefit from illustrations, perhaps a velocity profile of pursuit in response to a step-ramp target.
Nystagmus as seen in a case of ocular albinism. The cause of pathological nystagmus may be congenital, idiopathic, or secondary to a pre-existing neurological disorder.It also may be induced temporarily by disorientation (such as on roller coaster rides or when a person has been spinning in circles) or by some drugs (alcohol, lidocaine, and other central nervous system depressants, inhalant ...
Balance skill development in children Balance training using medicine balls. The sense of balance or equilibrioception is the perception of balance and spatial orientation. [1] It helps prevent humans and nonhuman animals from falling over when standing or moving.
