Behavioral performance and temporal encoding during switch experiments. A, For switch experiments, rats were tested in alternating blocks of BC (behavioral task) and the no-movement NRP task (NRP-o) in both sessions #1 and #2. B, Overall average hindlimb press profiles (±SD); despite being tested under NRP modes for several weeks preceding switch mode. C, In fact, rats were able to adapt and perform well in the hindlimb timing task in a short amount of time. Left, Between 30–50 s or 5–10 trials before first correct behavioral response. Right, Similarly rats were able to perform well under NRP control (15–35 s or 2–8 trials) after performing the hindlimb timing task. D, There was no effect of a BC block either preceding or following an NRP-o block on overall BC task performance for short or long estimates. E, No effect of an NRP-o block preceding or following a BC block on NRP-o task performance. F, The proportion of scaled neurons did not change pre-TX regardless of the mode. However, post-TX there was a significant decrease in the proportion of scaled neurons. G, Moreover, difference between behavior mode and NRP for the different scaling mechanisms was similar to difference between Switch Behavior and Switch NRP Only. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001.
