ITI duration affects the temporal-tuning in the next trial. a The location of the preferred time is correlated with the duration of the previous trial ITI in 15% of all cells (p < 0.01, binomial test). Earlier ITIs (trials n − 2/3/4) affect much less. b Two examples of cells in which the preferred time (quantified as center of mass, y-axis) correlates with the ITI duration of the previous trial (x-axis). The PSTHs of the lower third (red), middle third (green), and upper third (blue) are shown on top. Data presented as mean ± S.E.M. c Change in CR amplitude between successive trials plotted against the center of mass of neural activity in the ITI between the trials. Shown are all single units in all trials they were recorded, together with the linear fit. ndays = 82; single units: amygdala: n = 291; dACC: n = 263
