The Neural
Control of Visually Guided Eye Movements
C. Cortical Mechanisms of Visually Guided Saccadic Eye Movements
Figure
17 provides data from V1. Here we stimulate in the lower layers.
The solid white curve shows target choice without stimulation. With 7.5
and 10uA of stimulation the curve shifts significantly to the left. This
is what we call facilitation since the probability of choosing the target
in the receptive field is increased. The 0% after the current levels for
each curve indicates that stimulation in the absence of any targets never
elicited a saccade, meaning that the stimulation level was well below
absolute threshold.
