Abstract
The excitability of lateral geniculate cells to orthodromic volleys decreased during saccadic eye movements. This decrease was caused by retinal impulses generated by a quick displacement of the image of the visual field associated with eye movements. This may be a mechanism for saccadic suppression.Keywords
