Fig. 3. Differences of neuronal selective activities to specific stimulus or lick direction between the hit and the error trials (A) Normalized firing rates (fr) to preferred and non-preferred stimuli during the sample period. (B) Normalized fr to preferred and non-preferred lick directions during the delay period. (A, B) Each dot indicates the normalized fr of a selective neuron in the hit (black) or error (pink) trial. The dotted line represents the unity line. (C) Changes in the normalized fr of selective neurons during the sample period (Bonferroni post hoc test). In the hit trials (black bars), the firing rates were significantly higher in response to the preferred stimulus than those to the non-referred stimulus (Bonferroni post hoc test, p<0.001). In the error trials (pink bars), the firing rates for the preferred stimulus were significantly lower than those in the hit trials (Bonferroni post hoc test, p<0.001). In addition, the firing rates for the non-preferred stimulus were significantly increased than those in the hit trials (Bonferroni post hoc test, p<0.001). (D) Changes in normalized fr of selective neurons during the delay period (Bonferroni post hoc test). In the hit trials, the firing rates of selective neurons were significantly higher when mice licked to the preferred direction compared to when mice licked to the non-preferred direction (Bonferroni post hoc test, p<0.001). On the contrary, in the error trials, the firing rates when mice licked to the non-preferred direction were significantly higher than those when mice licked to the preferred direction (Bonferroni post hoc test, p<0.001). (E) Normalized fr to the given stimulus during the sample period. (F) Normalized fr to the movement option (right- vs. left-) during the delay period. (E, F) Each dot indicates the normalized fr of a non-selective neuron in the hit (black) or error (pink) trial. The dotted line represents the unity line.
