pubmed-article:1771801 | pubmed:abstractText | The effects of central and peripheral retinal stimulation on the optokinetic response were examined using full-field, central field only, peripheral field only and simultaneous central and peripheral field motion. Stimulation of the central field in isolation produced similar responses to those obtained for full-field motion whereas peripheral field stimulation resulted in greatly reduced responses. Central field dominance was also evident during central and peripheral field motion in opposing directions. However with unidirectional, simultaneous central and peripheral stimulation the optokinetic response was determined not by the central stimulus but by whichever stimulus moved the slower. | lld:pubmed |
