TL;DR: Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, an analogous bilateral region in the human PPC is identified that shows contralateral topography for memory-guided eye movements and arm movements that shows dynamically updates the spatial goals for action in a gaze-centered frame.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that a large network of frontal and posterior areas is modulated during the latter component of the preparatory period on antisaccade compared with prosaccade trials, and suggest that the activation level of frontal cortical areas before stimulus presentation is associated with subjects' performance in theantisaccade task.

TL;DR: Not only do these regions code target location, but they also appear to integrate target selection with effector selection, consistent with previous clinical and behavioral studies showing that each hand is more effective in directing movements to targets in ipsilateral visual space.

TL;DR: Frontal and supplementary eye fields, anterior cingulate cortex, intraparietal sulcus, and precuneus, exhibited surprisingly similar activation patterns for prosaccade and nogo responses, suggesting that BOLD signal in cortical saccade regions might predominantly reflect visual detection and attention processes rather than saccades generation or inhibition.

TL;DR: Evidence is reported for a relationship between saccadic reaction time (SRT) and set-related brain activity measured with event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging and that the human FEF plays a central role in saccade initiation.
