The Neural
Control of Visually Guided Eye Movements
C. Cortical Mechanisms of Visually Guided Saccadic Eye Movements
To
learn more about the process of target selection with saccadic eye movements,
we carried out a series of experiments recently in which we the extent
to which sub-threshold electrical microstimulation of various cortical
areas could influence target choice was determined. The areas stimulated
are depicted in Figure 14. They
are V1, V2, V4, the lateral intraparietal area (LIP), the frontal and
medial eye fields (FEF & MEF).
