The connectivity and anatomical locations of the FEF and other structures within the visual and oculomotor systems of the rhesus macaque monkey brain. Left panel, diagram of the connectivity of the FEF (orange) with other visual and oculomotor structures. Some con nections that do not directly involve the FEF are omitted. Right panel, locations of the brain regions pictured in the left panel shown in the lateral view of the monkey brain. In both panels, surface structures other than the FEF are colored dark blue. Deep structures are illustrated as light blue. A transparent window through Vis Ctx reveals some of their locations. Abbreviations: BG, basal ganglia; BSG, brainstem saccade generator; Cbl, cerebellum; LGN, lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus; LIP, lateral intraparietal area; SC, superior colliculus; SEF, supplementary eye field; Pulv, pulvinar nuclei of the thalamus; Vis Ctx, extrastriate visual cortex.
