Average firing patterns time-locked to the nicotine-reinforced lever press: task-activated versus task-nonactivated neurons. Top row, The average firing pattern of task-activated neurons time-locked to the nicotine-reinforced lever press is shown for each SA recording day (i.e., SA3 and SA23 of initial SA; R1, R3, and R7 of reexposure). In each perievent histogram, average firing rate (i.e., hertz per 0.1 s bin) is plotted as a function of time before and after the nicotine-reinforced lever press (i.e., 12 s prepress and 12 s postpress). Bottom row, The average firing pattern of all task-nonactivated neurons time-locked to the nicotine-reinforced lever press is shown for each SA recording day (i.e., SA3 and SA23 of initial SA; and R1, R3, and R7 of reexposure). In each perievent histogram, average firing rate (i.e., hertz per 0.1 s bin) is plotted as a function of time before and after the nicotine-reinforced lever press (i.e., the 12 s prepress and postpress).
