Abstract
43% of units recorded from the foveal prestriate cortex, inferotemporal cortex or amygdala of 15 rhesus monkeys performing visual discrimination or serial reversal tasks were responsive to all or some visual stimuli or other aspects of the task. Six units showed activity during movements required for performance of the task. It was not possible to determine whether unit activity could be related to the learnt association of the visual stimuli with reward.
