Eye movements evoked by electrical stimulation of the frontal cortex in the coronary sulcus of the cat.

The frontal cortex concerned with eye movements was investigated by electrical stimulation in the cat. Stimulation of the lateral part of the frontal cortex at the coronary sulcus evoked rapid medial movement and enophthalmos of the contralateral eye. The latency of eye movement following cortical stimulation was found to be shorter in the coronary sulcus than in the medial wall of the hemisphere under the cruciate sulcus or in the presylvian sulcus.
