Figure 3. Signals related to previous action in the PFC are unaffected by previous outcome.

Figure 3

(A) An example DLPFC neuron that encoded the action in the previous trial during the fore-period (n = 591 trials, effect of previously chosen location in a 3-way ANOVA, p<10−7). The effect of volatility or previous reward was not significant (p>0.2).

(B) Time course of the mean CPD for the previously chosen target location. Gray background indicates the target period.

(C) Time course of the average decoding accuracy for previously chosen target location, plotted separately according to block types and previous outcomes.

(D) Average decoding accuracy for the previously chosen target location during the post-target period (horizontal gray line in B). Shaded areas in (A) and (B) and error bars in (C) represent ± SEM. Lighter bars in (C) indicate that the decoding accuracies were not significantly above the chance level (one-sample t-test, p>0.05). See also Figure S2.
