Comparison of visual, memory, and motor activity in V4-projecting FEF neurons and the FEF population as a whole. Visual, memory, and motor selectivity were assessed using a memory-guided saccade task in which the cue appeared inside or opposite the RF of the FEF neurons being recorded (see Fig. 1a). Histograms show the distribution of average visual, memory, and motor selectivity for 1,000 ensembles of 15 FEF neurons chosen at random from the population (n = 307 non-projecting FEF neurons). Yellow arrow shows the mean selectivity for the V4-projecting FEF neurons (n = 15). Selectivity was measured based on the ROC value for trials in which the cue appeared inside vs. outside the FEF RF (during the visual, delay, or motor epochs of the task). Memory selectivity was significantly stronger in the V4-projecting FEF population, and motor selectivity was significantly weaker, compared to the non-projecting FEF population.
