title: Higher centers concerned with eye movement and visual attention: cerebral cortex and thalamus.
abstract: A comparison of the connectivity and physiology of the frontal and parietal eye fields, showing a closer relationship between the frontal eye fields and oculomotor processing than for the parietal region. The involvement of thalamic regions in the generation of eye movements is also reviewed.
