Nevertheless, the burst properties reported in this study strongly support the idea that the deeper layers of the SC act as an optimal controller: the systematic organization of peak firing rates and burst durations as function of saccade amplitude along the motor map, the synchronous change in firing rate of recruited cells in the population, and the shaping of the temporal burst profile of a given cell with the currently planned saccade, all contribute to the generation of straight eye - movement trajectories with optimal kinematics.

Three different activity measures were used to quantify the magnitude of the saccade - related bursts of SC neurons for movements towards the center of their movement field as a function of their rostral - to - caudal location in the SC motor map: A) number of spikes in the burst, B) mean firing rate and C) peak spike density.

To test these theoretical predictions, Fig. 4 quantifies several burst properties of saccade - related SC cells for saccades towards the center of their movement field as a function their anatomical rostral - to - caudal location in the motor map: number of spikes in the burst (Fig. 4A), mean firing rate (Fig. 4B), and peak firing rate (Fig. 4C).

Mean firing rates, Fm, were defined as the number of spikes in the burst divided by saccade duration.

We demonstrate this intuition by applying three different information - based measures of stimulus encoding to experimental characterizations of sensory neurons, and demonstrate a transition from «high - slope» to «peak - firing - rate» encoding as neuronal variability increases, both for single neurons and in the context of a small population.

The standard tool in performing this characterization is the neuronal tuning curve: a plot of the average firing rate of the neuron as a function of relevant stimulus parameters.
