TLDR
Control of visually guided, reflexive and volitional saccades in 16 patients suffering severe traumatic brain injury and 12 controls was assessed and related the results to deficits on neuropsychological tests of speed of information processing and goal directed behaviour.About:

Impaired eye movements in post-concussion syndrome indicate suboptimal brain function beyond the influence of depression, malingering or intellectual ability.

TL;DR: The findings that eye movement function in PCS does not follow the normal recovery path of eye movements after mCHI are indicative of ongoing cerebral impairment, and supports the notion that PCS is not merely a psychological entity, but also has a biological substrate.

Motor deficits and recovery during the first year following mild closed head injury.
Marcus Heitger,Richard D. Jones,John C. Dalrymple-Alford,Chris Frampton,Michael Ardagh,Tim J. Anderson +5 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that multiple motor systems are measurably impaired up to 12 months following mild CHI and that instrumented motor assessment may provide sensitive and objective markers of cerebral dysfunction during recovery from mild head trauma independent of neuropsychological assessment and patient self-report.

Eye movement and visuomotor arm movement deficits following mild closed head injury
Marcus Heitger,Tim J. Anderson,Richard D. Jones,John C. Dalrymple-Alford,Chris Frampton,Michael Ardagh +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that multiple motor systems can be impaired following mild CHI and that this can occur independently of neuropsychological impairment, and that quantitative tests of oculomotor and upper-limb visuomotor function may provide sensitive markers of cerebral dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deficits in predictive smooth pursuit after mild traumatic brain injury.
TL;DR: This is the first report to the authors' knowledge that TBI patients show impaired predictive SPEM and eye position variability, and that these impairments correlate with cognitive deficits, as well as a sensitive assay of cognitive functioning, including attention and executive function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocular motor assessment in concussion: Current status and future directions
TL;DR: A combination of eye movement tasks coupled with neuroimaging techniques and other objective biomarkers may lead to a better understanding of the anatomical and physiological consequences of concussion and to better understand the natural history of this condition.

Effects of parietal injury on covert orienting of attention
TL;DR: The results show that damage to the parietal lobe produces a deficit in the disengage operation when the target is contralateral to the lesion, and suggest one mechanism of the effects of parietal lesions reported in clinical neurology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frontal lobe lesions in man cause difficulties in suppressing reflexive glances and in generating goal-directed saccades
TL;DR: The results support the view that the frontal lobes, particularly the dorsolateral region which contains the FEF and possibly the supplementary motor area contribute to the generation of complex saccadic eye-movement behaviour and in triggering the appropriate volitional movements when the goal for the movement is known but not yet visible.
