Supplementary eye field as defined by intracortical microstimulation: Connections in macaques

In macaques, the frontal eye field and the recently defined supplementary eye field play a role in the production of eye movements. Whereas the structure and function of the frontal eye field are well understood, little is known about the supplementary eye field. The goal of this study was to determine the connections of the physiologically defined supplementary eye field. In each case, the location of the supplementary eye field was determined by using intracortical microstimulation, the borders were marked with small electrolytic lesions, and horseradish peroxidase conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin was injected into the supplementary eye field. After the tissue was incubated with tetramethyl benzidine, it was determined that in three cases the injection site was confined to the physiologically defined supplementary eye field.
