Figure 4. The distribution of r-D values for BLA cells from the conditioned and control groups.
A. (Left) A distribution of r-D values for saccharin responsive cells in conditioned animals (n = 51). Cells with a positive r-D value show preferential firing during saccharin infusion, while a negative value indicates suppressive firing toward saccharin infusion relative to baseline. (Right) A distribution of r-D values for the control group (n = 41). Note that the distribution of r-D values from the conditioned group is significantly skewed towards negative values, compared to the control group (p < 0.05). B. (Left) A distribution of r-D values for water responsive cells in conditioned animals (n = 36). Cells with a positive r-D value show preferential firing for water infusion, while a negative value indicates suppressive firing toward water infusion relative to baseline. (Right) A distribution of r-D values for the control group (n = 28). Note that there is no significant difference in the distribution of r-D values of water responsive cells between the conditioned and the control groups (p > 0.5).
