Sommer and Wurz (2006)trained monkeys to make a saccade from an initial fixation point (FP₁)to a later fixation point (FP₂).They recorded from single cells in the frontal eye field of monkeys,and their findings offered support for the importance of the corollary discharge signal (CDS),since a flash of light to the A)receptive field (RF)led to a strong response before the saccade. B)future field (FF)led to a strong response after the saccade. C)future field (FF)led to a strong response just before the saccade.

Sommer and Wurz's findings showed that the corollary discharge signal (CDS) was important since a strong response was observed in single cells in the frontal eye field just before the saccade when the flash of light was presented in the future field (FF), indicating that the CDS was being generated and transmitted to the frontal eye field. Therefore, the best choice is C, as the strong response occurred just before the saccade.
