An Entity of Type: brain, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The frontal eye fields (FEF) are a region located in the frontal cortex, more specifically in Brodmann area 8 or BA8, of the primate brain. In humans, it can be more accurately said to lie in a region around the intersection of the middle frontal gyrus with the precentral gyrus, consisting of a frontal and parietal portion. The FEF is responsible for saccadic eye movements for the purpose of visual field perception and awareness, as well as for voluntary eye movement. The FEF communicates with extraocular muscles indirectly via the paramedian pontine reticular formation. Destruction of the FEF causes deviation of the eyes to the ipsilateral side.

dbo:abstract
  • Das frontale Augenfeld (engl. Frontal eye fields; FEF) ist ein abgegrenzter Bereich der Großhirnrinde und gehört zur Prämotorischen Rinde. Es übernimmt die höchste Hierarchieebene in der Steuerung der äußeren Augenmuskeln. Basierend auf Ergebnissen von Primatenstudien ist es im Brodmann-Areal 8 lokalisiert, während es beim Menschen Hinweise darauf gibt, dass diese Lokalisation abweicht und sich das frontale Augenfeld stattdessen im Brodmann-Areal 6 befindet. Das frontale Augenfeld steuert mehrere Kerngebiete im Zwischen- und Mittelhirn (Formatio reticularis pontis paramediana, Nucleus praepositus hypoglossi, Nucleus interstitialis), die wiederum die motorischen kontrollieren (Nucleus nervi oculomotorii, Nucleus nervi trochlearis, Nucleus nervi abducentis). Eine Schädigung des frontalen Augenfeldes führt dazu, dass willkürliche Augenbewegungen nicht mehr möglich sind. Es tritt eine konjugierte Blickrichtungsabweichung (Déviation conjuguée) zur Seite der Schädigung auf (Herdblick, Prévost-Zeichen). (de)
