    Notes: Abstract Five healthy volunteers received a single oral dose of amylobarbitone sodium (200 mg) and placebo in a double blind randomized fashion. Peak velocity of horizontal saccadic eye movements, saccade duration and smooth pursuit velocity were measured at intervals up to 6 h after drug administration. The active treatment produced a statistically significant decrease of both saccadic and smooth pursuit eye velocity. The maximum effect was observed 2 h after drug administration. The effect on peak saccadic velocity was still statistically significant 6 h after treatment. The maximum impairment in eye movement performance ranged between 25 and 29%. These results demonstrate that both saccadic and smooth pursuit systems are unable to generate the required eye velocity under the influence of a therapeutic dose of amylobarbitone sodium.

    Notes: Abstract Healthy volunteers received single oral or intravenous doses of d-amphetamine sulphate (15 mg) and placebo in a double blind randomized design. Peak velocity of horizontal saccadic eye movements, saccade duration, saccade reaction time and smooth pursuit velocity were measured at intervals up to 1 h (IV) and 6 h (oral) after drug administration. Amphetamine produced no significant effect on saccadic and smooth-pursuit eye movements after oral administration. However, intravenous amphetamine abolished the effect of fatigue on saccadic movements and significantly (P〈0.01) shortened saccadic reaction time.
