Hi step1taker,
frontal gaze centre is concerned with gazing at new objects.
parieto-occipital gaze centre with looking at the moving object.
vestibuloccular is concerned with looking on moving head.
occipito mesencephalic pathway is concerned with looking at the object that is moving toward the eye.
