Brodmann area 8 The<unk>  <unk>  are a region located in the<unk>  cortex, more specifically in Brodmann area 8 or BA8, of the primate brain. In humans, it can be more accurately said to lie in a region around the intersection of the middle<unk>  gyrus with the precentral gyrus, consisting of a<unk>  and parietal portion. The<unk>  is responsible for saccadic<unk>  movements for the purpose of visual field perception and awareness, as well as for voluntary<unk>  movement. The<unk>  communicates with extraocular muscles indirectly via the paramedian pontine reticular formation. Destruction of the<unk>  causes deviation of the<unk> s to the ipsilateral side.
