Lick-related neuronal activity. (A) Examples of neuronal activity aligned by lick-bout onset (vertical line) and sorted by auditory stimulus presentation time (red dots). The traces below depict mean activity of each cell for lick bouts with the stimulus either preceding (dashed line) or following (solid line) licking onset. (B) Changes in ΔF/F (Z-score) of individual ROIs at licking onset. Black crosses signify mean ± SEM. H(3) = 43.4, p < 0.01, Kruskal-Wallis test, n = 51 ChAT, 242 GAD2, 130 VGLUT2 cells. ChAT vs. GAD2: p = 3.8 × 10−6, ChAT vs. VGLUT2: p = 6.5 × 10−9, ChAT vs. GFP: p = 8.0 × 10−5; all other comparisons p > 0.05, Tukey's post-hoc test.
