a, Timeline for learning assay. b, Cumulative histogram of number of sessions to reach learning criterion (74% correct for 2 consecutive sessions). The speed of learning was similar between unlesioned (n=17) and lesioned (n=14) mice. c, Among mice that learned the task, the number of sessions to criteria did not differ between unlesioned (n=11) and lesioned (n=9) animals. d, The fraction of mice that did not learn within the assessment period (45 sessions) was similar between groups (unlesioned n=6, lesioned n=5 mice). e, Inability to learn was not due to larger lesion size, NL, non-learners. f, Unlesioned and g, lesioned mice that did learn could no longer perform the task when the C2 whisker was trimmed.
