Fig. 3

a PSTH of full scopolamine population of two monkeys showing neuronal spiking dynamics for the three attentional conditions during control block (solid lines, composed of the data shown in Fig. 2a and b) and injection block (dashed lines). b Distribution of injection modulation indices (IMI) for the sensory condition (attend-fix). Light gray depicts the full population fulfilling the first inclusion criterion, and dark gray depicts the subpopulation of cells with significant influence of injection on their firing rate. The red vertical dashed line indicates the median injection modulation for the full population. Shown data contains neuronal responses of single units from two monkeys for the preferred stimulus only. c, d Histogram of attentional modulation index for control (upper histograms) and scopolamine injection blocks (lower histograms) for cells showing a significant decrease (c) or increase (d) in firing rate at the single-cell level due to scopolamine injection. Paired differences are illustrated in insets. Red vertical dashed lines indicate the median change of the population
