abstract = {Primates perform frequent saccadic eye movements (SEMs) to
sample visual information from theirenvironment. These SEMs
are accompanied in the primary visual cortex (V1) by local
fieldpotential (LFP) modulations that precede the arrival of
the visual input [Ito et al. (2011) CerebCortex
21:2482-97].In the present study we aim to elucidate how the
SEM related LFP modulations depend on theproperties of
visual input during saccades. For this purpose, we presented
stationary, full-fieldgrating stimuli to an awake macaque
monkey, who freely explored the stimuli with
voluntarysaccadic eye movements. Eye movements were recorded
with a scleral eye coil and the LFP fromV1 with a 24-channel
linear electrode array. We identified SEM related LFP
modulations byaveraging the LFP signal aligned to the onsets
of saccades and subsequent fixations, andreconstructed the
corresponding current source density (CSD) signal (Figure a
and b) from the LFPvia the inverse CSD method [Pettersen et
al. (2006) J Neurosci Meth 154:116–33]. For acomparison we
also computed the average LFP and CSD signal aligned to the
onset of the stimulusimages preceded by fixation on a
central fixation spot (Figure c).The monkey preferred to
perform saccades in the direction parallel to the stripes of
the stimulusimage. Those parallel saccades (PSs) had a
larger median amplitude, velocity and duration
thanorthogonal saccades (OSs) and intermediate saccades. We
found that the SEM related LFPmodulation was stronger for
OSs than for PSs. The CSD signal showed a current sink in
thegranular layer, that was observed for the saccade-onset
and fixation-onset triggered averages but notfor the
image-onset triggered averages, confirming that this sink
reflected SEM related activity(Figure a and b, red frames
vs. c, red frame). The OSs evoked stronger current sinks
than the PSs.We observed a positive correlation between the
amplitude of saccades and the magnitude of theevoked current
sink. The increase of the CSD signal for larger saccades
saturated more quickly forOSs than for PSs (Figure d vs. e).
This SEM related current sink probably reflects an
inhibitoryprocess because it was accompanied by a concurrent
decrease in high-gamma band (~160 Hz)power, which has been
shown to be strongly positively correlated to the firing
rates of local neurons[Ray et al. (2008) J Neurosci
28:11526-36].In summary, saccades causing larger changes in
the retinal image, such as those with largeramplitude and/or
in directions more orthogonal to the stripes of the stimulus
images, evokedstronger CSD modulations. This seems to
suggest mere excitation of V1 by the retinal changescaused
by saccades, but a comparison with the concurrent high-gamma
power modulation rathersuggests that the CSD modulation
reflects an inhibitory process. A possible implication of
theseobservations would be that the CSD signal might reflect
an active suppression mechanism thatmatches the amount of
inhibition to the strength of the visual input during
saccades.},
