He said: «Examining
saccades from different populations is revealing a lot
about underlying brain mechanisms and how we think.
This analysis shows that the peak firing rate occurs at
about the same instant relative to
saccade onset (see Table 1, for further quantification) while the burst duration increases systematically with the preferred amplitude of the cells (indexed by the gray - scaling).
We recorded activity of 146
saccade - related neurons that were found in the intermediate and deep layers of the SC (
about 0.5 — 3 mm below the dorsal surface).
For both cells, peak firing rates occurred at
about the same instant relative to movement onset regardless of the movement amplitude, but burst durations were shorter and peak firing rates were higher when the cell took part in the small
saccades than when it participated in the large
saccades.
