In this study we have used the double-step paradigm to test saccadic gain adaptation during monocular viewing in 1 normal monkey, 2 monkeys with exotropia and 1 monkey with esotropia. In this paradigm, the target for the saccade is displaced during the saccade resulting in a consistent visual error. Studies in normal humans and monkeys have shown that the brain responds to this consistent visual error by gradually changing saccade gain. Using this technique, we were able to elicit adaptation in both the viewing eye and the non-viewing eye in the normal monkey and in monkeys with strabismus. The rate of adaptation was not significantly different in the viewing and non-viewing eyes in the normal and strabismic monkeys. The magnitude of adaptation as calculated by a percentage change in gain was also not significantly different in the viewing and the non-viewing eyes in the normal and strabismic monkeys. Our data shows that animals with strabismus retain the ability to elicit a conjugate adaptation of saccades using this mechanism. We also suggest that the double-step paradigm elicits a conjugate adaptation of saccades whether the animal is viewing monocularly (our studies) or binocularly (data published in literature).
