Fig. 6 |. Effects of OFC value states on ACC direction-selective neurons.

a, Spike density histograms showing the firing rate of two examples of ACC neurons that had preferred choices in a rightward direction. Neural activity is aligned to the onset of the OFC value state and sorted according to whether the value state is congruent or incongruent with the choice direction. Both neurons preferred rightward choices, and their activity was further increased when OFC was encoding the value of the option on the right. Error bars denote the s.e.m. b, Percentage of ACC direction-selective neurons that showed significantly higher firing rates when OFC value states were either congruent or incongruent with the choice direction. A significantly greater number of neurons had higher firing rates for congruent states than for incongruent states (two-sided ${\chi }^{\text{2}}$ test, ***P < 0.001).
