The location of the premotor hand region for conditional motor responses is in
blue, the location of the saccadic eye movement region (i.e., the FEF) is in red,
and the location of the primary motor cortex hand representation is in green in
subjects 7 and 8. The foci of activity illustrated result from the subtractions
reported in Tables 1–3. These foci are shown
on each subject’s left hemisphere: lateral view (top left diagram) and top
view (top right diagram). The green arrow indicates the point of the central sulcus
in the depth of which the primary hand motor representation is located (i.e.,
Broca’s pli de passage moyen). For each subject, horizontal sections at
different levels (z coordinate) in standard stereotaxic space are
shown. The left horizontal sections are anatomical MRIs, and the right sections are
the same ones with the premotor hand conditional (blue) and saccadic eye movement
(red) foci displayed. In both subjects, the primary hand motor region is also
displayed in green. In both subjects, the yellow dotted line indicates the level of
the sagittal section (i.e., the x coordinate) illustrated within
the yellow dotted box. Note that (1) on the lateral and top views of subject 8, the
red arrow points to the location of the SPSv in the depth of which the saccadic eye
movement region is located; (2) on the lateral and top views of subject 7, the blue
arrow points to the location of the SPSd in the depth of which the premotor hand
region for motor conditional responses is located; and (3) in the top view of
subject 7, the asterisk indicates the narrow gyral passage between the SPSd and the
SPSv. Ant, Anterior part of the brain; CS, central sulcus; SF, Sylvian fissure.
