Imaging the response of the retina to electrical stimulation with genetically encoded calcium indicators.

abstract：:The dorsal premotor area (PMd) of monkeys has been implicated in processes relating to movement preparation and movement selection. In the present study, we sought to determine whether PMd neurons that are activated during a delayed reaching task have directional responses that reflect either the target (i.e., the goa...
