Abstract
Contralateral conjugate deviation of the eyes with lateral, or with either upward or downward components, was obtained by electrical stimulation of the occipital cortex. When the exciting electrodes were applied to the cortex of area 17 superior to the external calcarine fissure, the movements tended to be lateral and downward. When applied below the same landmarks, the deviation was lateral and upward. The external calcarine fissure in the monkey is the anatomical representation of the horizontal meridian of the visual field.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
