Temporal relationship between synchrony and goal selectivity of neuronal activity analyzed for neuron pairs with F–I transition neurons

() Selectivity for final (red line) and immediate (blue line) goals calculated for the population of neurons with F–I transitions (see Materials and Methods). NS of each neuron pair was calculated by taking the peak value as 1, and values were then averaged over the preparatory period (black line). () The time course of the probability of synchrony among neuron pairs, based on unitary event analysis (). For each neuron pair, the statistical significance of the RS value at each time frame was assessed using a Poisson distribution estimated from the FRDS. The probability of significant synchrony in consecutive time frames of 100 ms is plotted. The dotted lines signify the level of statistical significance (at = 0.05 by a bootstrapping test).<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Discharge Synchrony during the Transition of Behavioral Goal Representations Encoded by Discharge Rates of Prefrontal Neurons"</p><p></p><p>Cerebral Cortex (New York, NY) 2008;18(9):2036-2045.</p><p>Published online 5 Feb 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2517111.</p><p>
