| Saccades[(Saccade>Saccade[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade|Wikipedia]])][(Saccade>Saccade[[https://eyewiki.aao.org/Saccade|Eyewiki]])] are rapid, jerky eye movements that allow us to quickly and accurately shift our gaze from one point to another. They are a crucial part of our visual system and allow us to process visual information effectively. | Saccades[(Saccade1>Saccade[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade|Wikipedia]])][(Saccade2>Saccade[[https://eyewiki.aao.org/Saccade|Eyewiki]])] are rapid, jerky eye movements that allow us to quickly and accurately shift our gaze from one point to another.

| The brain's oculomotor system is a network of neurons and brain structures that control eye movements. It is responsible for initiating and coordinating movements of the eyes, including saccades, smooth pursuit, and vergence. | The brain's oculomotor system is a network of neurons and brain structures that control eye movements.

| * **The oculomotor nucleus**: This is a group of neurons located in the brainstem that sends signals to the muscles that move the eye. | * **The oculomotor nucleus**: This is a group of neurons located in the brainstem that sends signals to the muscles that move the eye. |

| Saccades themselves are not directly related to memory formation, but they do play a crucial role in allowing us to gather and process visual information, which can then be encoded as a memory. | Saccades themselves are not directly related to memory formation, but they do play a crucial role in allowing us to gather and process visual information, which can then be encoded as a memory. |
