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,
and make slightly hypometric saccades with longer
reaction times. Often their saccades are normal: if
they can see it they can make saccades to it.
• Humans with frontal lesions cannot make
antisaccades.
