Fig. 5 |. OFC value integration.

a, Model of how OFC value state integration might affect the ramping ACC choice direction signal (left). We predict that DIR_ACC will increase faster following chosen (high value) states than unchosen (low value) OFC value states. The null hypothesis is that OFC value and DIR_ACC are independent signals. b, DIR_ACC aligned to the onset of chosen or unchosen OFC value states. The thick gray line indicates significant differences between the states (P < 0.01, two-sided two-sample t-tests). Error bars denote the 99% confidence intervals of the bootstrapped distributions. c, Same as b, except aligned to the onset of ACC value states. Error bars denote the 99% confidence intervals of the bootstrapped distributions. d, Difference in the effect of chosen versus unchosen value states on DIR_ACC aligned to ACC value states as compared to OFC states during 100 ms before the onset of the state. Positive values indicate a bigger difference in ACC, showing that the difference in DIR_ACC typically occurs before the onset of ACC value states, but not before OFC value states. The vertical lines indicate the first percentile of the bootstrapped distribution.
