Relation between visual input and motor outflow for eye movements in monkey frontal eye field.
We recorded visual neurons with the Elgiloy microelectrode in the frontal eye field of the alert monkey. After determining their visual receptive field, saccadic eye movements were induced by applying electric pulses at the recording site through the same electrode. The saccades were generally induced so as to bring the gaze angle to a part within the receptive field.
