Direct projection from the supplementary eye field to the nucleus raphe interpositus

Exp Brain Res. 1988;73(1):215-8. doi: 10.1007/BF00279675.

Abstract

Using WGA-HRP we have demonstrated that a direct projection links the supplementary eye field, but not the more caudal aspect of the supplementary motor area, to the brain stem omnipause region. Findings are discussed in relation to oculomotor control.
