To examine the role of three cortical eye fields during internally
guided decision-making processes, we recorded neuronal activities in
the frontal eye field (FEF), supplementary eye field (SEF), and lateral
intraparietal cortex (LIP) using a free-choice delayed saccade
task with two synchronized targets. Although the monkeys must perform
the task in a time-locked manner, they were free to choose either the
receptive field (RF) target or the nonreceptive field (nRF) target to
receive reward. In all three areas we found neurons with stronger
activation during trials when the monkey was going to make a saccade to
the RF target (RF trials) than to the nRF target (nRF trials).
Modulation occurred not only during target presentation (visual bias)
but also before target presentation (anticipatory bias). The visual
bias was evident as an attenuated visual response to the RF stimulus in
nRF trials. The anticipatory bias, however, was seen as an enhancement
of pretarget activity in the RF trials. We analyzed the activity during
the 500 msec before target presentation and found that 22.5% of FEF
and 31.3% of LIP neurons and 49.1% of SEF neurons showed higher
activity during the RF trials. To more accurately determine when each
neuron started to show preferential activity, we used a new inverse
interspike interval analysis procedure. Our results suggest that
although all three cortical eye fields reflect attentional and
intentional aspects of sensorimotor processing, SEF plays an earlier
and perhaps more cognitive role in internally guided decision-making
processes for saccades.
Key words:
frontal eye fields; supplementary eye fields; lateral
intraparietal cortex; single-cell activity; attention; intention; decision making; free-choice task; saccade
