Corollary Discharge Provides Accurate Eye Position Information to the Oculomotor System
Abstract
The saccadic system accurately compensates for perturbations of eye position produced by microstimulation of the superior colliculus. This requires that information about the stimulation-induced change in eye position be provided by an extraretinal source—either proprioceptive endings in extraocular muscles or a centrally generated corollary discharge. It is shown that compensation remains intact after elimination of extraocular muscle proprioception, demonstrating that corollary discharge provides accurate eye position information.

During a saccade there is neither visual nor proprioceptive sensory feedback.
“For example, during a saccade there is neither visual nor proprioceptive sensory feedback (Keller and Robinson, 1971; Guthrie et al., 1983; Thiele et al., 2002).”
From Cerebellum, Predictions and Errors (2019) · cites this paper as Guthrie et al., 1983
Corollary discharge has repeatedly been implicated in the process of updating the internal record of the current saccade to facilitate planning the next.
“CD has repeatedly been implicated in this process59–64.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
