最近的研究为选择目标和控制目光转移产生的神经过程提供了新的见解。作为网络中促进视觉处理和扫视产生的关键节点，额眼场 (FEF) 一直是监控这些过程的有效区域。 FEF 中的某些神经元会发出可能是眼跳目标的明显或有意义的刺激位置的信号。其他神经元控制目光是否以及何时转移。视觉选择和扫视产生的不同神经过程的存在对于解释视觉引导行为的灵活性是必要的。
Recent research has provided new insights into the neural processes that select the target for and control the production of a shift of gaze. Being a key node in the network that subserves visual processing and saccade production, the frontal eye field (FEF) has been an effective area in which to monitor these processes. Certain neurons in the FEF signal the location of conspicuous or meaningful stimuli that may be the targets for saccades. Other neurons control whether and when the gaze shifts. The existence of distinct neural processes for visual selection and saccade production is necessary to explain the flexibility of visually guided behaviour.
