Abstract

We recorded neuronal responses to optic flow stimuli in the ventral intraparietal area (VIP) of two awake macaque monkeys. According to previous studies on optic flow responses in monkey extrastriate cortex we used different stimulus classes: frontoparallel motion, radial stimuli (expansion and contraction) and rotational stimuli (clockwise and counter-clockwise). Seventy-five percent of the cells showed statistically significant responses to one or more of these optic flow stimuli. Shifting the location of the singularity of the optic flow stimuli within the visual field led to a response modulation in almost all cases. For the majority of neurons, this modulatory influence could be approximated in a statistically significant manner by a two-dimensional linear regression. Gradient directions, derived from the regression parameters and indicating the direction of the steepest increase in the responses, were uniformly distributed. At the population level, an unbiased average response for the stimuli with different focus locations was observed. By applying a population code, termed 'isofrequency encoding', we demonstrate the capability of the recorded neuronal ensemble to retrieve the focus location from its population discharge. Responses to expansion and contraction stimuli cannot be predicted based on quantitative data on a neuron's frontoparallel preferred stimulus direction and the location and size of its receptive field. These results, taken together with data on polymodal motion responses in this area, suggest an involvement of area VIP in the analysis and the encoding of heading.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
