Two possible signal flows with different locations of modulation of the gain of visual–motor transmission for smooth pursuit eye movements. A, Gain control is in muscle coordinates and acts separately on commands for horizontal versus vertical eye velocity. B, Gain control is in retinal coordinates and acts on a representation of the direction and speed of target motion before it has been decoded into commands for horizontal and vertical eye velocity. H, horizontal; V, vertical.
