Figure 4. Spike-count autocorrelation reveals a hierarchical ordering of intrinsic timescales.

Figure 4

A) Across multiple experiments, single unit data were recorded from seven cortical areas in the macaque monkey: MT, LIP, LPFC, OFC, ACC, S1 and S2. B) Areas arranged according to their anatomical hierarchy as defined by their long-range projection patterns. C) Intrinsic timescales increase gradually along the visual-prefrontal hierarchy. Error bar indicates standard error of fit parameters. Figure adapted from [40], reprinted with permission from Nature Publishing Group.

Abbreviations: ACC, anterior cingulate cortex; LPFC, lateral prefrontal cortex; LIP, lateral intraparietal cortex; MT, Middle temporal cortex; OFC, orbitofrontal cortex; S1, S2, Primary and secondary somatosensory cortex (anterior and lateral parietal cortex).
