Abstract
Our findings suggest that inhibition of reflexive saccades depends on a circumscribed subregion of the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. This region closely corresponds to Brodmann area 46 as defined by recent cytoarchitectonic studies. Increased antisaccade error rates in patients with prefrontal pathology may be explained by dysfunction of this region.
