supplementary eye field
Acronym:
The term supplementary eye field refers to an area within the rostral part of dorsal secondary motor cortex that is defined on the basis of internal structure, connections and function in macaque and the human ( Matelli-2004 ). In both species it is located in the caudal part of the superior frontal gyrus. In the human it is within the dorsolateral part of area 6a beta of Vogts. In the macaque it is within area F7. Micro-electrical stimulation in the area elicits saccadic eye movements. It, possibly together with area F2vr, is considered to be involved in encoding saccadic eye movements relative to the location of observed objects and to monitoring the consequences of eye movements.
