Convergence of neural signals related to animal’s choice, its outcome and chosen value. (A) Fractions of neurons modulating their activity according to the current choice [C(t), green], its outcome [R(t), blue] or chosen value [Qc(t), orange] are shown in a 500 ms sliding window that was advanced in 100 ms steps for the 2-s time periods before and after the onset of the reward stage (time 0). The shading indicates the minimum fraction significantly above chance (binomial test, p=0.05). (B) An example OFC neuron that modulated its activity according to animal’s choice, its outcome as well as chosen value in the current trial. Spike density functions (Gaussian kernel with σ = 100 ms) were constructed separately according to animal’s choice (left or right), its outcome (rewarded or unrewarded), or 4 different intervals of chosen value.
