Document Summary
Sz is a disorder that makes it hard to: Tell the difference between what is real and not real. Persons with sz make between 30% and 75% of errors in anti-saccade tasks. Assumption that dflpc is where there is a lot of error in sz individuals. To treat people and regulate medication people test off of this brain structure with anti-saccade tasks. Those with sz make 70% error and have difficulty inhibiting the pro-saccade response. Sz have difficulty regulating activity in the dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex. Top right pathway (shortest and most direct pathway to action) because of that it provides the shortest reaction time. Recall alpha motor neuron will cause muscles to move in the eye. Direct or stimulus-driven pathway light source hits the retina, point to point connection to sci will excite alpha motor neurons in the reticular formation and saccade eye to stimulus. Anti-saccade (requires top-down and you need to think about what action you need)
