We studied the effects of small lesions of the oculomotor vermis of the cerebellar cortex on the ability of monkeys to execute and adapt saccadic eye movements. For saccades in one horizontal direction, the lesions led to an initial gross hypometria and a permanent abolition of the capacity for rapid adaptation. Mean saccade amplitude recovered from the initial hypometria, although variability remained high. A series of hundreds of repetitive saccades in the same direction resulted in gradual decrement of amplitude. Saccades in other directions were less strongly affected by the lesions. We suggest the following. (1) The cerebellar cortex is constantly recalibrating the saccadic system, thus compensating for rapid biomechanical changes such as might be caused by muscle fatigue. (2) A mechanism capable of slow recovery from dysmetria is revealed despite the permanent absence of rapid adaptation.
Key words: saccades; saccadic eye movement; saccadic adaptation; fatigue; cerebellum; vermis; dysmetria; lesion; eye movement; recovery; recovery from brain damage; motor learning; cerebellar cortex
