Each row reports the number of actions in ten 2-min time intervals, averaged over 40 replications of the simulation and over the two levers, in different conditions. The CONTROL row refers to simulations with the fully operative model, whereas the other two rows refer to simulations where lesions of the striato-nigro-striatal connections were performed either before (SNS-pre) or after training (SNS-post).
