Background: The frontal eye fields (FEFs) are linked to oculomotor control and hypothesized to reside in the prefrontal cortex, where electrical stimulation reportedly evokes contraversive eye movements. The exact location and function of the FEFs in humans is controversial. Stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) is a minimally invasive technique used to guide epilepsy surgery. It provides a unique opportunity to collect human neurophysiological data outside of the operating room and has been used by other groups to advance our understanding of specific brain functions. Methods: Two pediatric subjects undergoing non-lesional epilepsy workup were enrolled into this prospective, IRB-approved study, and received brain MRI prior to SEEG implantation. SEEG recordings were collected with video of the subjects’ eyes while performing gaze-related tasks. Results: Stimulation testing elicited contraversive head turning with or without eye deviation, and hemifacial spasm, depending on the site of stimulation. Low-threshold sites eliciting these stereotyped movements were located just deep to the inferior precentral gyrus. Stimulation of sites in the posterior middle frontal gyrus did not elicit eye movements. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the FEFs are located more posteriorly than widely held, involving the motor cortex. Further testing in pediatric and adult subjects is warranted to confirm this hypothesis.
