Caption: When we scan a visual scene with quick eye movements known as saccades (top), the retinas send a series of 'snapshot' images to the brain that must be integrated properly into a stable whole using internal information about the saccades (middle). Sommer & Wurtz describe a circuit (bottom) converging at the frontal eye field (yellow) that may perform this integration of visual and saccadic information.
