Cortical control of saccades

C Pierrot‐Deseilligny, S Rivaud… - Annals of Neurology …, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
A scheme for the cortical control of saccadic eye movements is proposed based partly on
defects revealed by specific test paradigms in human with discrete lesions. Three different …

Eye fields in the frontal lobes of primates

EJ Tehovnik, MA Sommer, IH Chou, WM Slocum… - Brain Research …, 2000 - Elsevier
Two eye fields have been identified in the frontal lobes of primates: one is situated
dorsomedially within the frontal cortex and will be referred to as the eye field within the …

Saccade target selection in frontal eye field of macaque. I. Visual and premovement activation

JD Schall, DP Hanes, KG Thompson… - Journal of …, 1995 - Soc Neuroscience
We investigated how the brain selects the targets for eye movements, a process in which the
outcome of visual processing is converted into guided action. Macaque monkeys were …

Antisaccade performance predicted by neuronal activity in the supplementary eye field

M Schlag-Rey, N Amador, H Sanchez, J Schlag - Nature, 1997 - nature.com
The voluntary control of gaze implies the ability to make saccadic eye movements specified
by abstract instructions, as well as the ability to repress unwanted orientating to sudden …

Model of the control of saccades by superior colliculus and cerebellum

C Quaia, P Lefèvre, LM Optican - Journal of …, 1999 - journals.physiology.org
Experimental evidence indicates that the superior colliculus (SC) is important but neither
necessary nor sufficient to produce accurate saccadic eye movements. Furthermore both …

Muscimol-induced inactivation of monkey frontal eye field: effects on visually and memory-guided saccades

EC Dias, MA Segraves - Journal of neurophysiology, 1999 - journals.physiology.org
Muscimol-induced inactivation of the monkey frontal eye field: effects on visually and
memory-guided saccades. Although neurophysiological, anatomic, and imaging evidence …

On the causes and effects of inhibition of return

TL Taylor, RM Klein - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 1998 - Springer
Unpredictive visual transient cues have a biphasic effect on reaction times (RTs) to
peripheral onset targets. At relatively short (eg, 150-msec) cue-target stimulus onset …

Relationship of presaccadic activity in frontal eye field and supplementary eye field to saccade initiation in macaque: Poisson spike train analysis

DP Hanes, KG Thompson, JD Schall - Experimental brain research, 1995 - Springer
The purpose of this study was to investigate the temporal relationship between presaccadic
neuronal discharges in the frontal eye fields (FEF) and supplementary eye fields (SEF) and …

Frontal eye field sends delay activity related to movement, memory, and vision to the superior colliculus

MA Sommer, RH Wurtz - Journal of Neurophysiology, 2001 - journals.physiology.org
Many neurons within prefrontal cortex exhibit a tonic discharge between visual stimulation
and motor response. This delay activity may contribute to movement, memory, and vision …

Reversible inactivation of macaque frontal eye field

MA Sommer, EJ Tehovnik - Experimental Brain Research, 1997 - Springer
The macaque frontal eye field (FEF) is involved in the generation of saccadic eye
movements and fixations. To better understand the role of the FEF, we reversibly inactivated …
