Figure 7. NMNs Are More Binocular and More Selective for Rotation Than LPTCs.

Figure 7

The rotation selectivity ratio is plotted against the binocularity ratio for each NMN (red) and LPTC (blue). A binocularity ratio of 1 means that the neuron was equally sensitive to motion in both visual hemispheres, a value of 0 means that the neuron only responded to motion in one hemisphere. A rotation selectivity ratio of 0 means that we estimate the neuron only responds to translation-induced optic flow, 0.5 means we estimate the neuron responds to translation and rotation equally, 1 means the neuron only responds to rotation. See Materials and Methods for details on how the ratios were calculated. Histograms at the top and side show the distribution of binocularity and rotation selectivity ratios across the NMN and LPTC populations. The bin size is 0.1 for the binocularity histogram and 0.04 for the rotation selectivity histogram. For information on which data point corresponds to which cell type, see Figure S2.
