then to the occipital-parietal and frontal gaze centers in both hemispheres;
from both those cerebral hemisphere gaze centers,
the signal goes down to the superior colliculus
and on to the rostral interstitial nucleus of the MLF (riMLF)
to initiate vertical saccades; the signal also goes to the interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC)
to maintain eccentric gaze
Upward saccades
Signal goes from the riMLF dorsally through the posterior commissure, ventrally to the superior rectus and inferior oblique subnuclei of the third cranial nerve, and from there to muscles innervated by those nuclei
Downward saccades
Signal goes through the tegmental midbrain to the superior oblique nucleus and the inferior rectus subnucleus and then to the muscles innervated by those nuclei
