Electrical stimulation of the frontal eye fields of the rhesus monkey evokes saccadic eye movements. Both the amplitude of electrically elicited saccades and the threshold current for eliciting them are primarily determined by the location of the stimulating electrode within the frontal eye fields;
Voluntary deviation of the eyes depends upon intact frontal eye fiellds and connections from these cortical centers to the eye muscle nuclei. Reciprocal innervation of eye muscles by the human frontal eye fields has been indicated in a previous study (Lemmen, Fisher and Davis, '58). All observers ha
