I'm obviously biased, but completely agree! Hope you are doing well, Doug!

Together, the findings reveal a unified, bilateral pathway through which the brainstem shares eye-movement commands with the cerebellum.
This shared access point may help the cerebellum compare intended vs. actual eye movements and fine-tune them in real time.

And it doesn’t stop there:
These internuclear pathways also send inputs to both the flocculus and the fastigial nucleus, two cerebellar structures critical for refining conjugate and vergence eye movements.

Both OINs and AINs send efference copy signals far beyond their traditional motoneuron targets.
We show they project to the paramedian tract (PMT) cell groups, a set of precerebellar nuclei long known but not fully appreciated in this context.

Classically, oculomotor (OIN) and abducens (AIN) internuclear neurons are thought of mainly as the neurons that link the two eyes for coordinated horizontal movements.
But it turns out they do much more.

Unconscionable.
