Coherent neurons in the NAcSh that convey information about sucrose-concentration.

	All coherent neurons		Coherent and taste-coding	Direction of modulation
	n (%)	Coherence mean±sem	n (%)	Increased	Decreased
Gustatory (N = 421)	32(7.6)	0.46 ± 0.01	5/32(15.6)	4	1
Start (N = 304)	27(8.8)	0.44 ± 0.01	4/27(14.8)	3	1
Start/Stop (N = 265)	25(9.3)	0.43 ± 0.01	5/25(20)	5	0

The N's are the total number of neurons recorded in each test. For “All coherent neurons” n's are the number (%) relative to total neurons. For “Coherent and taste-coding” the (%) are relative to all coherent neurons detected. The coherence values are presented as mean ± sem. The number of taste-coding neurons that Increased or Decreased their coherence as a function of sucrose concentration is also shown.
