The location and possible function of the human frontal eye-field (FEF) were evaluated by
reviewing results of cerebral blood-flow (CBF) and lesion studies. A remarkable consistency …

Saccadic eye movements are shifts in the direction of gaze that rapidly and accurately aim
the fovea at targets of interest. Saccades are so brief that visual feedback cannot guide them …

1. An oculomotor delayed-response task was used to examine the spatial memory functions
of neurons in primate prefrontal cortex. Monkeys were trained to fixate a central spot during …

Single-unit recordings in monkeys have revealed neurons in the lateral prefrontal cortex that
increase their firing during a delay between the presentation of information and its later use …

Chafee, Matthew V. and Patricia S. Goldman-Rakic. Matching patterns of activity in primate
prefrontal area 8a and parietal area 7ip neurons during a spatial working memory task. J …

The spatial memory functions of the monkey's prefrontal cortex were examined with
oculomotor delayed-response (ODR) paradigms that required the animal to remember the …

Reflexive visually-guided saccade triggering may be facilitated or inhibited by the cerebral
cortex. To study this control, saccades made towards suddenly appearing visual targets …

Eye movements were recorded electro-oculographically in three patients with a small
ischemic lesion affecting the left frontal eye field (FEF) and in 12 control subjects. Reflexive …

How does the brain learn to balance between reactive and planned behaviors? The basal
ganglia (BG) and frontal cortex together allow animals to learn planned behaviors that …

A central goal of the Neurosciences is to provide an account of how the brain works in terms
of cell groups organised into pattern generating networks. This review focuses on the neural …
