- A partial lesion of the PPRF will produce a small
phasic command and small (hypometric) saccades. A
complete lesion of the PPRF will abolish all
ipsilateral saccades (in this case to the left).
- If the projection from PPRF to the motoneurons is
damaged only a tonic command, through PPH, will
get to the motorneurons and thus the saccade will
be very slow.
- If the PPH is lesioned the saccade will be normal
but, because the tonic command is deficient, the
eye will drift back.
