Time course of signals related to the temporally discounted values and choice in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). A. Signals related to the magnitude (red) and delay (blue) of the reward expected from each choice and the choice of the animal (leftward or rightward saccade; green). B. Signals related to the sum of the temporally discounted values with the two alternative rewards (DVL and DVR for the left and right target, respectively; red), their differences (blue), the difference between the temporally discounted values of the chosen (DVC) and unchosen (DVUC) rewards (black), and the animal’s choice (green). Left panels, the fraction of neurons that showed significant modulations in their activity according to each variable during a 200-ms sliding window used for a multiple linear regression model. Right panels, coefficient of partial determination (CPD) averaged across the population of DLPFC neurons estimated for each variable in the same regression model (59).
