摘要

To evaluate smooth-pursuit (SP) function in the primate frontal eye field (FEF), microinjections of muscimol, a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist, were used to reversibly deactivate physiologically characterized sites in FEF. SP was severely impaired by deactivation at sites in the FEF's smooth eye movement region (FEFsem) located in the fundus and posterior bank of the macaque monkey's arcuate sulcus. These SP deficits were apparent immediately after the muscimol injection and persisted for several hours but recovered by the next day. SP was most drastically and consistently impaired for directions similar to the injected site's elicited smooth eye movement direction or to the optimal SP direction for its neuronal responses. Targets moving in these directions, usually ipsilateral to the injected hemisphere, were tracked primarily with saccades after the muscimol injection, the peak SP velocity being only 10-30% of preinjection velocity. SP in other directions, including contralateral, was less strongly affected. Initial SP acceleration in response to target motion onset was also significantly diminished, generally by approximately the same proportion as peak SP velocity. In contrast, saccades were largely unaffected by muscimol injections in FEFsem; nor was there an immediate effect on SP when control sites in the saccadic region of FEF (FEFsac) were deactivated, although a SP deficit often appeared 30-60 min after FEFsac injections, possibly reflecting diffusion of muscimol into neighboring FEFsem. These reversible SP deficits produced by muscimol inactivation within FEFsem are similar to permanent deficits caused by large aspiration lesions of FEF and indicate that inclusion of FEFsem is the critical factor determining whether FEF lesions impair SP. The severity of the reversible deficits found here indicates how extremely critical FEFsem is for normal highgain SP.
