Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Mean neuronal responses of 51 LIP neurons recorded by de Lafuente et al. (2015) in an instructed movement task. The figure shows all trials in which the animals were required to make a saccade (red) or a reach (blue) into the neuronal response field. In other studies (Snyder et al., 1997; Dickinson et al., 2003; Cui and Andersen, 2007), LIP neurons exhibit, during the delay period, greater activity in saccade trials compared with reach trials. The present study shows a marked opposite trend. The figure contrasts Figure 4, c and d, of de Lafuente et al. (2015), with permission.
