Post-saccadic enhancement of neural responses and ocular following eye speed. (A) Representative neural responses from a single MSTd neuron for test stimuli delivered after real saccades. Responses for the short-delay condition (blue) are significantly enhanced compared to those for the long-delay condition (gray). (B) Responses from the same neuron for the same test stimulus delivered after simulated saccades. There is no evidence of enhancement of neural responses after simulated saccades. In both (A,B) the raster plots show responses for the short-delay condition. (C,D) Representative ocular following eye speeds for the same test speed for which the recordings in (A,B) were obtained. Ocular following eye speed is significantly enhanced in the short-delay condition compared to the long-delay condition following both real (C) and simulated (D) saccades. In all panels, solid lines show the average across all trials of a given condition and the shaded regions indicate ±1 SE, estimated by bootstrapping.
