Hyoscine has, he said, a remarkable effect in ameliorating the movements, and it was tempting to suggest that an irritative process played a part in their production.. His explanation was that the vertical movements of the eye predominated in the brain stem -a suggestion that raises again the question of " mid-brain epilepsy," The experimenter has never yet succeeded in producing upward or downward movement of the eyes from cortical stimulation, nor has vertical rotation ever been recorded during a fit. The experiments of Risien Russell confirmed the suggestion of Hughlings Jackson that in the cortex the lateral movements of the eyes are so much more powerfully represented than are the vertical movements that they overpower all others when this area is stimulated. Loss of upward movement is pathognomonic of brain stem lesion, says Prof. Bramwell, and this is a far older and more primitive coordinate movement than the lateral movements of which we hear so much. To rotate the eyeballs up is to hark back to a time when all that we have learned from stereoscopic vision was yet untaught.
