The Gaze Center

Question

The gaze center
A) is located in the postcentral gyrus.
B) enables the eyes to track an object.
C) is part of the primary auditory cortex.
D) enables the brain to ignore repetitive background noise.

Accepted Answer

The gaze center is a part of the brain that enables the eyes to track an object. It is located in the frontal eye fields in the frontal lobe. A is incorrect because the postcentral gyrus is responsible for processing sensory information such as touch and proprioception. C is incorrect because the primary auditory cortex is responsible for processing sound. D is incorrect because the brainstem, not the gaze center, is responsible for ignoring repetitive background noise.
