MODULE 9
SUGGESTED READING
Digital:
1) Neuroscience Online: an electronic textbook for the neurosciences. This is a free educational resource provided by the Department of Neurobiology and Anatomy at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. It is really superb and we urge you to make use of it. The online version works fine on computers, but since visualization of the figures requires a flash player, they are absent when the material is viewed using an Ipad.

Appendix to Ocular Systems and Control:
Print:
1) Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases by Hal Blumenfeld.
----- The oculomotor, trochlear and abducens nerves are considered briefly on Pages 472-3. The hypoglossal nerve is covered on Pages 499-500. Fig. 12.5 and Table 12.4 provide reasonable summaries.
----- The main treatment of eye movement is in Chapter 13. It is a good presentation of a clinically important topic and we urge you to read parts of it carefully. The role of the extraocular muscles, and related cranial nerves, in bringing about eye movement is discussed on Pages 530-540. You can skip the red glass test for now, but read the rest of it.
----- You should also read about control of the pupils an Pages 540-544. Skip Table 13.3 but be sure to spend some time on Figures 13.8 and 13.9.
----- Finally read about the supranuclear control of eye movement and the related brainstem circuits on Pages 548-552. This is a difficult topic. If you want to test yourself, see if you can explain the basis for the results following lesion 4 in Figure 13.13.
----- Testing of eye movements is described on Pages 59-60 and testing of hypoglossal function is described on Pages 62-63.
2) Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience by M. J. Turlough Fitzgerald, Gregory Gruener and Estomih Mtui. Fifth Edition.
----- The nerves of the oculomotor system are covered in Chapter 23, starting on Page 257.
----- The hypoglossal nerve is discussed in the first part of Chapter 18, starting on Page 225.
3) Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Applications by Duane E. Haines. Third Edition.
----- The nerves of the oculomotor system are covered in Chapter 14, as follows: abducens nerve - Page 222; trochlear nerve - Page 225; oculomotor nerve - Page 226.
----- The detailed anatomy of the nuclei, the action of the extraocular muscles and the effect of lesions are all covered in the first part of Chapter 28.
----- The way the nuclei are organized to bring about eye movement is discussed at the end of Chapter 28, starting on Page 461.
4) Cranial Nerves, by Wilson-Pauwels, Akesson and Stewart.
----- It's easy to find the relevant sections in this book. Read them if you find them helpful
5) Clinically Oriented Anatomy, Fourth Edition by Keith L. Moore and Arthur F. Dalley.
----- The section on the cranial nerves is excellent. It deals with the function and peripheral anatomy of each one and starts on Page 1082.
6) Principles of Neural Science by Eric R. Kandel, James H. Schwartz and Thomas M. Jessel.
----- Chapter 39 deals with the control of gaze.
----- Chapter 44 deals with cranial nerves as a whole
