Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

The effect of task engagement is gradually stronger and more separable from the effect of speed as we move from ventral to dorsal areas. Y-axis: average regression coefficients across iterations ( N = 1000). Squares: mean β (speed of movement) +/- s.e.m. Circles: mean β (task engagement) +/- s.e.m. Asterisk: statistical significance (two-sided paired t-test) between predictors within an area at p < 0.05, with Bonferroni correction ( N = 8). OFC orbitofrontal cortex, VLPFC ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, DLPFC dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, ACC anterior cingulate cortex, FEF frontal eye fields, PM premotor cortex, SMA supplementary motor area.
