Firing rates are shown as mean ± S.E.M. Numbers in parenthesis shows the number of neurons falls in that particular category. Chi-square test revealed significant difference of cluster distribution among brain areas (Chi-square (12) = 68.64, p < 0.0001).

a

p < 0.01, Chi-square test, compared with mPFC.
