The frontal eye fields (FEF) is a region located in the premotor cortex,[1] which is part of the frontal cortex of the primate brain. Elsevier, the world's largest Publisher of Medical and Scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group The premotor cortex is an area of Motor cortex in the Frontal lobe of the Brain. The frontal lobe is an area in the Brain of Mammals It is located at the front of each Cerebral hemisphere and positioned anterior to (in front of the The brain is the center of the Nervous system in animals All Vertebrates and the majority of Invertebrates have a brain It is reported to be activated during the initiation of eye movements, such as voluntary saccades and pursuit eye movements. A saccade is a fast movement of an eye, head or other part of an animal's body or device Pursuit movement is the ability of the Eyes to smoothly follow a moving object The FEF constitutes together with the supplementary eye fields (SEF) and the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) one of the three most important cortical areas involved in the generation of eye movements. Supplementary eye fields (SEF are areas on the dorsal-medial surface of Frontal lobe of the primate Brain that are involved in planning and control of saccadic The intraparietal sulcus (IPS is located on the lateral surface of the Parietal lobe, and consists of an oblique and a horizontal portion The cerebral cortex is a structure within the Brain that plays a key role in Memory, Attention, perceptual Awareness, Thought, In humans, the FEF is located at the junction of the precentral sulcus and the superior frontal sulcus.
