If there is damage to the LEFT MLF then the person's can't look medial with his left eye?

BTW this is a great brain slice site.

Correct. Impaired adduction of the ipsilateral eye and nystagmus of the contralateral eye are characteristic.

MLF is in the pons. Internuclear ophthalmoplagia in young patients --> MS; in old patients --> stroke.
