Cover

Cover: We are constantly moving our eyes to focus on various objects of interest. The precise coordination of our two eyes is essential for clear vision and accurate depth perception. The cover image illustrates how we move our eyes to look at things that are close (top) or far (bottom). Closer objects require the eyes to converge while far objects require the eyes to diverge. We examine how the brain programs the motor control of such precise eye movements. (Images by M. R. Van Horn.) For details, see Van Horn MR and Cullen KE. Dynamic Coding of Vertical Facilitated Vergence by Premotor Saccadic Burst Neurons. J Neurophysiol first published July 23, 2008; doi:10.1152/jn.90580.2008.
