title: MRI and fMRI analysis of oculomotor function.
abstract: This chapter reviews the anatomical correlations of the cortical oculomotor centers in humans. The modern structural methods allow a better anatomical definition of the parietal, frontal and temporal structures involved in oculomotor control. Functional imaging reveals the cortical networks involved in saccadic, pursuit, and vestibular eye movements. Finally, the interaction of the network between attention and eye movements is discussed.
