Inferotemporal Neurons Distinguish and Retain Behaviorally Relevant Features of Visual Stimuli
Abstract
Single-cell activity was recorded in the inferotemporal cortex of monkeys performing a task that requires perception and temporary retention of colored stimuli. Many cells reacted differentially to the stimuli. By changing the relevance of certain features of compound stimuli, it was found that the reactions of some cells to color depend critically on whether or not the task demands that the animal pay attention to color. A substantial number of cells showed color-dependent differences in frequency of discharge during the retention periods of the task. The temporal characteristics of differential discharge and its dissolution when memory is no longer required indicate that the cells that display it are involved in retaining visual information.

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.
