Discrimination performance conditioned on sampling duration. All sampling periods were pooled across rats, trials, and sessions for each group and odor set. Thick dark traces represent the means; colored areas correspond to the binomial 95% confidence intervals. For odor set A, Group 1 rats (n = 7) detected the HS odorant (green), and Group 2 rats (n = 8) detected the LS odorant (red). For odor set B, Group 1 detected the LS odorant, and Group 2 detected the HS odorant. Only sampling durations up to 1000 ms are shown. Crosses at the bottom of each plot indicate the median for all trials, and the large dots to either side represent the 90% range of the sampling durations. Note that both groups surpass 70% performance, with ∼200 ms of sampling when detecting a HS odorant, while detecting LS odorants requires >300 ms to reach 70% performance.
