Figure 1. The behavioral task.

Figure 1

(a) The mixtures presented to one mouse during the first 7 training sessions. Each row in the raster (bright ticks indicate presence of odorant) represents a single odorant and each column represents a trial. Odorants 7 and 8 were the targets for this mouse (red arrows to left). Above are the distributions of the number of components in the mixture used at each stage of the training. (b) The average number of components in the mixture in each 100 trial block (black) and the percent of mixtures that the mouse encounters for the first time (red). (c) The percent of correct trials in each 100 trial block. (d) Left: The average learning curve of 10 mice. Right: The last 200 trials performed with odorant cues and the first 200 trials performed when the target odorant tube was replaced with an empty tube or with a background odorant tube. Both plots show the mean ± SE. (e) Percent of correct trials as a function of the number of components in the mixture for all trials (black), Go trials (blue), and NoGo trials (red). Symbols represent the mean and error bars show a 95% confidence interval. Lines are linear fits to the data.
