Single-cell recordings of a visually or internally triggered sequential motor task revealed that neurons in _______ are just as active during the visually and internally triggered task,neurons in ________ were more active during the internally triggered task,and neurons in _______ were more active during the visually triggered task.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the given information, neurons in SMA are just as active during the visually and internally triggered task, which rules out option A and C as they have different order of SMA. Neurons in MT are not mentioned, so option D can also be eliminated. Therefore, the correct choice is B, where neurons in M1 are more active during both tasks, but neurons in SMA are more active during internally triggered task and neurons in PM are more active during visually triggered task.
