The function of the FEF cannot be
understood outside the context of the
network in which it is a node. That
network includes connections with
extrastriate visual areas as well as
connections with the basal ganglia and
brainstem motor structures.

Superior colliculus
Visual input from retina and visual cortex
Neurons have receptive fields
Responses of some cells enhanced if stimulus is target
No saccade
Saccade to RF
Saccade to CON
Superior colliculus
There is map of the visual field
Superior colliculus
Deeper layers have neurons active before saccades
Innervate saccade generator circuit in brainstem
“Movement fields” are broad
Superior colliculus
Population coding of saccade direction
Saccade averaging
The superior colliculus is “controlled” by the basal ganglia
Effects of manipulation
Coordinated neural modulation

In the 19th century David Ferrier discovered that electrical
stimulation of the frontal lobe around the arcuate sulcus
evoked movements of the eyes.
He called this the
Frontal Eye Field
The frontal eye field projects to ocular motor
structures to produce movements of the eyes
and is reciprocally connected with extrastriate
visual areas.

it can be found automatically.

identified in the activity of macaque frontal eye field neurons during visual
search. Journal of Neurophysiology 76:4040-4055.
Gaze is guided by knowledge as well as vision
Remember the location
of the objects in the room.
Remember the ages
of the people in the room
Yarbus, A. L. 1967 Eye Movements and Vision. New York: Plenum Press.
FEF neurons also select the target when
knowledge must be combined with vision.
Target in RF
Similar distractor in RF
Dissimilar distractor in RF
Bichot, N.P. & Schall, J.D. (1999). Effects of similarity and history on neural
mechanisms of visual selection. Nature Neuroscience 2:549-554.
The time of target selection
does not specify when gaze
will shift. This means another
neural process must intervene
between target selection and
saccade initiation and that
process is of randomly
variable timing.
