Abstract

Eve - 1874 E’EKRIKR (4) elicited conjugate contralateral eye in the monkey by stimulating the cortical area now known as the eye (Rrodmann’s area 8). The many subsequent studies of this phenomenon have been reviewed by Smith (22) in 1949 Crosby, Yoss, Henderson (3) in 1952. The usual response to electrical stimulation was a slow rotation of both eyes to the opposite side with an occasional up or down component. Other types of that have been observed are centering (l), vergence (3), nystagmus (22). Several cortical maps showed areas on the cortex where these various types of could be produced but there was little agreement among them.
