Neuronal activity in macaque supplementary eye field (SEF) is enhanced during performance of, the antisaccade task. This could be related to the selection of targets by a difficult rule (move to a location diametrically opposite the cue) or to conflict between the automatic tendency to look at the cue and the voluntary intention to look away. To distinguish between rule- and conflict-based mechanisms of enhancement, we monitored neuronal activity in the SEF during performance of a delayed response task in which monkeys selected saccade targets in response to peripheral visual cues. In spatial trials, the monkey had to select as target the location marked by the cue. In color trials, the monkey had to select as target the location associated with the color of the cue. 'Color-congruent' trials resembled spatial trials in that saccades were directed to the location occupied by the cue. Nevertheless, many SEF neurons were sensitive to the rule being used, with the majority firing more strongly under the color-rule condition. 'Color-incongruent' trials resembled 'color-congruent' trials in that a color rule guided target selection. Nevertheless, many SEF neurons were sensitive to the spatial relation between cue and saccade, with the majority firing more strongly on trials in which they were incongruent. We conclude that neuronal activity in the SEF is enhanced in connection both with the use of a more difficult rule and with conflict. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
