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.
