SPW-R-contingent triggering of light presentations. Online SPW-R-contingent triggering of light presentations in a representative animal is depicted in (A). In (B) and (C), traces represent averages of SPW-Rs recorded during one session in a representative animal (same as in panel A). SPW-Rs were either followed by a light (Light) or not (Undisrupted). In (C), a subset of panel (B) is presented focusing on the SPW-R. Light did not affect the SPW-R itself, but only the neural activity following it (B and C). SPW-Rs occurred at a rate of approximately 7–11 per minute (D). More SPW-Rs were observed in both groups as conditioning proceeded (rm ANOVA, main effect of session, p < 0.001). Most SPW-Rs occurred 8 or more seconds after the training trial had ceased (E). SPW-Rs tended to occur in close temporal proximity to each other (F). No statistically significant differences between the R and the Y group were observed in the timing of SPW-Rs in relation to training trials or each other. Vertical lines in (D–F) depict s.e.m.
