In an antisaccade task, subjects are instructed to inhibit a reflexive saccade towards a peripheral stimulus flash and to generate a saccade in the opposite direction. It has been shown recently that normal subjects will generate a high... more
Intelligent behaviour requires self-control based on the consequences of actions. The countermanding task is designed to study self-control; it requires subjects to withhold planned movements in response to an imperative stop signal,... more
A potential application of studying eye movements with functional MRI (fMRI) is to examine patient populations with known eye movement dysfunction, but the reliability with which normal subjects demonstrate activity in specific brain... more
Background: Schizophrenia subjects demonstrate difficulties on tasks requiring saccadic inhibition, despite normal refixation saccade performance. Saccadic inhibition is ostensibly mediated via prefrontal cortex and associated... more
Subjects were trained on a pursuit task in which the target trajectory was predictable only on the horizontal axis. Half of them were sleep deprived on the first post-training night (n = 13). Three days later, functional magnetic... more
Our knowledge of the cortical control of saccadic eye movements (saccades) in humans has recently progressed mainly thanks to lesion and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies, but also to functional imaging. It is now well-known... more
When different stimuli indicate where and when to make an eye movement, the brain areas involved in oculomotor control must selectively plan an eye movement to the stimulus that encodes the target position and also encode the information... more
The superior sector of Brodmann area 6 (dorsal premotor cortex, PMd) of the macaque monkey consists of a rostral and a caudal architectonic area referred to as F7 and F2, respectively. The aim of this study was to define the origin of... more
