Abstract

Multiple cortical areas are mutually compared on the bases of neuronal spiking characteristics measured through three dimensionless inter-spike interval statistical coefficients. The spike sequences were recorded from the prefrontal cortical area (PF), the pre-supplementary motor area (Pre-SMA), the supplementary motor area (SMA) and the rostral cingulate motor area (CMAr) of a behaving monkey performing a waiting period task. The distribution of three statistical coefficients is found to be largely dependent on the recording sate. By measuring the Hellinger distances among those distributions, Pre-SMA, SMA and CMAr are found to be mutually similar in comparison with PF.
