----

This page covers biological details of component Caudal Frontal Eye Field.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

  * *Top-down path to region*: Cerebral Cortex -> Anterior Lobe (NC.LOBE.ANT) -> [BrainCenterNC_PMC Premotor Cortex] (NC.PMC) -> Frontal Eye Field (NMA.NC.PMC.FEF) -> [BrainRegionNPE_NC_PMC_CFEF Caudal Frontal Eye Field] (NPE.NC.PMC.CFEF) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: cortex
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaNPE Neocortical Brain - Unimodal Execution Area] (NPE)
  * *Area circuit*: Cortical Vision Control (CVC)
  * *Brodmann ID*: 08
  * *Role*: cortex.generic
  * *Function*: Head and eye movements toward visual stimuli
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * shorter saccades
