a Effect of spatial attention on neuronal firing rate across trial time course for monkey P (average AMI 0.094, i.e., 20.7%). Peristimulus time histograms were calculated for the control block for the scopolamine cell population of each monkey separately for the three attentional conditions. The analysis period (used to determine the AMI) is defined as 300–800 ms after RDP onset (gray shaded area). The initial firing rate modulation in the attend-in condition is due to the cue, which was present in the receptive field only during the attend-in condition. b Effect of spatial attention on neuronal firing rate across trial time course for monkey O (average AMI 0.047, i.e., 9.9%). c, d Effect of spatial attention on example MT cells (c s1-pie-035-01+01_2a, d s3-pie-020-01+02_1a), both of which showed a significant effect of scopolamine injection on firing rates in the fixation condition
