Comparison on path effects across optic flow stimulus conditions for neurons having heading, path, and place response profiles. A: preferred heading direction response amplitudes (ordinate) for heading, path, and place neurons (abscissa) in the alternating sequence conditions. Responses are shown as a percentage of the response to that heading direction in the random sequence condition. Neither the preferred nor the nonpreferred alternating sequence (based on CW vs. CC preferences in the circular sequence condition) shows substantial changes in response amplitudes from the random sequence condition. B: preferred heading direction response amplitudes for heading, path, and place neurons in the circular sequence stimulus conditions (format as in A). The preferred circular sequence shows substantial increases in response amplitudes over that recorded in the random sequence condition.
