Activities of individual neurons were recorded from the superior temporal sulcus (STS) of rhesus monkeys during the performance of a visual discrimination and memory task. Of 174 neurons analyzed in detail, 19 neurons showed sustained changes in discharge rates during the delay period (D neurons). All the D neurons showed responses during the presentation of the same stimulus and had higher selectivity compared to the remaining non-D neurons. The data indicated that a subgroup of highly selective visual neurons in the STS participate in short-term retention of these stimuli.
在恒河猴执行视觉辨别和记忆任务期间，记录了其颞上沟（STS）单个神经元的活动。在详细分析的174个神经元中，有19个神经元在延迟期表现出放电率的持续变化（D神经元）。所有D神经元在相同刺激呈现期间均有反应，并且与其余非D神经元相比具有更高的选择性。数据表明，STS中高度选择性的视觉神经元亚群参与了这些刺激的短期保留。
