Fig. 7: FEF activity and noise correlation vary as a function of the type of produced behavioral responses.

A Average time evolution MUA ( ± s.e.m) across sessions recorded during hit (blue), miss (green), and false alarm (red) trials. Activity was locked to target (for hit and miss responses) or distractor onset (for false alarm responses) (0 ms, interval of analysis: −400 ms to 400 ms). B Boxplot representing the distribution across sessions of noise correlation values for each type of trial computed on pre-target (solid lines) or pre-cue (dashed lines) neuronal activities. Lower and upper box boundaries reflect the 90th and 10th percentiles, respectively, line inside box reflects the median, and lower and upper error lines show the min and max value of each distribution, respectively (*p < 0.001, **p < 0.0001, two-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank test).
