Four figures comparing visual response metrics across different populations of neurons, that are all nearly identical
Figure showing the distribution of direction selectivity index with nasal preferring in blue and temporal preferring in red. Many more neurons in the red than the blue
Figure showing an example neurons response to saccades in both nasal and temporal directions where the nasal response is much larger than the temporal.
Colorful data showing mean saccade frequency as a function of stimulus type with similar distributions for all stimuli
