Systematic rostral-to-caudal changes in temporal burst profiles.

<p><b>A–D</b>) Illustrated are the temporal firing patterns of saccade-related SC neurons at four different rostral-to-caudal locations in the motor map (insets). Movements (top) corresponded with their preferred vector. Eccentricities of the cells (as indexed by their preferred vectors) were about 5°, 13°, 21° and 32°, respectively. All cells (n = 5, n = 11, n = 8, and n = 7, respectively) were selected for producing ∼18 spikes for their preferred saccade (i.e., highlighted cells in <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002508#pcbi-1002508-g004" target="_blank">Fig. 4</a>). Thin and thick lines are cell and cluster averages, respectively. Importantly, spike density functions were not normalized in any way.
