Autocorrelation structure in the macaque dorsolateral, but not orbital or polar, prefrontal cortex predicts response-coding strength in a visually cued strategy task
In previous work, we studied the activity of neurons in the dorsolateral (PFdl), orbital (PFo), and polar (PFp) prefrontal cortex
while monkeys performed a strategy task with 2 spatial goals. A cue instructed 1 of 2 strategies in each trial: stay with
the previous goal or shift to the alternative goal. Each trial started with a fixation period, followed by a cue. Subsequently,
a delay period was followed by a “go” signal that instructed the monkeys to choose one goal. After each choice, feedback
