Conclusions Most neurons in the deeper layers of the SC show activity aligned with the visual input and the motor response in single-target tasks. Many of these same neurons show additional discharge that is correlated with higher-level decision processes in more natural visual tasks. In the case of pop-out search the SC has been shown to be functionally involved in the decision processes. The cue aligned activity in SC in the choice response task is surprising because no transient visual stimulus appeared in the response field of the neuron.
