Dissociation of response variability from firing rate effects in frontal eye field neurons during visual stimulation, working memory, and attention.
Recent studies suggest that trial-to-trial variability of neuronal spiking responses may provide important information about behavioral state. Observed changes in variability during sensory stimulation, attention, motor preparation, and visual discrimination suggest that variability may reflect the engagement of neurons in a behavioral task. We examined changes in spiking variability of frontal...
متن کاملNeuronal activity during a cued strategy task: comparison of dorsolateral, orbital, and polar prefrontal cortex.
We compared neuronal activity in the dorsolateral (PFdl), orbital (PFo), and polar (PFp) prefrontal cortex as monkeys performed three tasks. In two tasks, a cue instructed one of two strategies: stay with the previous response or shift to the alternative. Visual stimuli served as cues in one of these tasks; in the other, fluid rewards did so. In the third task, visuospatial cues instructed each...
متن کاملProactive control of irrelevant task rules during cued task switching.
In task-switching paradigms, participants are often slower on incongruent than congruent trials, a pattern known as the task-rule congruency effect. This effect suggests that irrelevant task rules or associated responses may be retrieved automatically in spite of task cues. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether the task-rule congruency effect may be modulated via manipulations...
متن کاملDecreased firing of striatal neurons related to licking during acquisition and overtraining of a licking task.
Neurons that fire in relation to licking, in the ventral part of the dorsolateral striatum (DLS), were studied during acquisition and performance of a licking task in rats for 14 sessions (2 h/d). Task learning was indicated by fewer errors of omission of licking and improved movement efficiency (i.e., shorter lick duration) over sessions. Number of licks did not change over sessions. Overtrain...
متن کاملFiring patterns of accumbal neurons during a pavlovian-conditioned approach task.
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is necessary for the expression of Pavlovian-conditioned approach behavior but not for the expression of instrumental behavior conditioned in sessions that set a low response requirement. Although numerous studies have characterized firing patterns of NAc neurons in relation to instrumental behavior, very little is known about how NAc neurons encode information in Pa...
