Author Summary No major account of oculomotor (eye movement) guidance considers the influence of the hippocampus (HC) and broader medial temporal lobe (MTL) system, yet it is clear that information is exchanged between the two systems. Prior experience influences current viewing, and cases of amnesia due to compromised HC/MTL function show specific alterations in viewing behavior. By modeling large-scale network dynamics, we show that stimulation of subregions of the HC, and of the MTL, rapidly results in observable responses in oculomotor control regions, and that HC/MTL lesions alter signal propagation. These findings suggest that information from memory may readily guide visual exploration, and call for a reconsideration of the neural circuitry involved in oculomotor guidance. Abstract Visual exploration is related to activity in the hippocampus (HC) and/or extended medial temporal lobe system (MTL), is influenced by stored memories, and is altered in amnesic cases. An extensive set of polysynaptic connections exists both within and between the HC and oculomotor systems such that investigating how HC responses ultimately influence neural activity in the oculomotor system, and the timing by which such neural modulation could occur, is not trivial. We leveraged TheVirtualBrain, a software platform for large-scale network simulations, to model the functional dynamics that govern the interactions between the two systems in the macaque cortex. Evoked responses following the stimulation of the MTL and some, but not all, subfields of the HC resulted in observable responses in oculomotor regions, including the frontal eye fields, within the time of a gaze fixation. Modeled lesions to some MTL regions slowed the dissipation of HC signal to oculomotor regions, whereas HC lesions generally did not affect the rapid MTL activity propagation to oculomotor regions. These findings provide a framework for investigating how information represented by the HC/MTL may influence the oculomotor system during a fixation and predict how HC lesions may affect visual exploration.
