General assessment of modulations in the population of V6A neurons. (A) Percentage of cells in the population with task preference (magenta) and background sensitivity (dark gray) in sliding windows (width: 200 ms, shift: 50 ms) covering the whole duration of the trial (sliding window ANOVA, p < 0.05). (B) Schematics of task-related and background-related modulations measured during the DELAY epoch. The graph reports the number and percentage of cells showing a main effect of Task (magenta circle), a main effect of Background (dark gray circle) or both effects (intersection) (repeated-measures ANOVA, p < 0.05). Colored bands represent the general incidence of task preference for reach-to-grasp (68% considering all task-selective cells; red) vs. reach-to-press (32% considering all task-selective cells; blue) movements (bottom left), and the incidence of background preference for dark (65% considering all background-selective cells; black) or light (35% considering all background-selective cells; light gray) background (up right), respectively, within the whole population of modulated neurons.
