Figure 3

(A) Raster plot of one narrowly tuned neuron. Black vertical lines at the 2- and 4.5-s marks bracket the stimulus duration period. The shaded gray area denotes the analysis period for the van Rossum metric. The cell responded strongly to NaCl and MSG and little or nothing at all to the other stimuli. (B) Change in mutual information over time for NaCl relative to control stimulation with AS. The solid blue line represents the mutual information, while the dashed red lines indicate 95% confidence intervals constructed using the bootstrap procedure. In response to NaCl, mutual information became statistically significant 500 ms after stimulus onset and remained significant during the stimulus duration period. (C) Same as (B) except using MSG compared to AS. We see that the mutual information was significant 225 ms after stimulus onset.
