The effect of lesions
• Monkeys with collicular or frontal eye field
lesions make saccades with a slightly longer
reaction time.
• Monkeys with combined lesions cannot make
saccades at all.
• Humans with parietal lesions neglect visual
stimuli, but have no specific eye movement
deficits. If they can see it they can make
saccades to it.
• Humans with frontal lesions cannot make
antisaccades.
