FIGURE 3: Mice predict reward timing from sound onset.

FIGURE 3:

A. An illustration of the trial designs. B. Average peri-sound lick rate response curves (solid line denotes mean, shaded area represents SEM across trials) of an example animal trained on the Standard Trials (ST, orange) and Short Sound Trials (SST, navy blue). Dashed lines indicate the sound termination times for ST (orange) and SST (blue) trials. Solid black line represents when reward was given. Comparison of the predictive licking between ST and SST trials compared to baseline yields p = 0.9 (Wilcoxon rank sum test). C. Average estimated slope of the predictive licking curves for ST (orange) and SST (navy blue) across animals (N = 8, p = 96, Wilcoxon rank-sum test). Error bars represent mean ± SEM across animals. Lines connecting filled squares represent the estimate slope values for each animal in ST and SST. D. Average log predictive licking ratio (log PLR for SST) across animals is not significantly different from 0 (N = 8, p = 0.12, Wilcoxon signed rank test compared against 0). Error bars represent mean ± SEM across animals. Open circles represent the PLR for each animal.
