This is illustrated in Fig. 4, which shows the average firing aligned to first cue light on (Fig. 4 C and F), port exit (Fig. 4 D and G), and second cue light on (Fig. 4 E and H). Tick marks indicate significant differences between firing for responses made in (thick line) and away (thin line) from the neuron’s response field (t tests every 100 ms; P < 0.01), and directional indices were computed for each cell (into − away/into + away). The only difference in this analysis is that we split STOP-change trials into sS (orange) and gS (red) trial types.
