Which of the area in cerebral coex represents the frontal eye field?
High-Yield Explanation
Area 8 (the frontal eye field) is concerned with eye movements. Area 6 (the premotor area) contains a second motor map. Several other motor zones, including the supplementary motor area (located on the medial aspect of the hemisphere), are clustered nearby. Area 4 is the primary motor area in the precentral gyrus. Within the inferior frontal gyrus, areas 44 and 45 (Broca's area) are located anterior to the motor coex controlling the lips and tongue. Broca's area is an impoant area for speech. Ref: Waxman S.G.
