Learning requires synaptic transmission in lobule simplex. A) Average
lever kinematic traces from an example 0.5 s cue prediction session after
application of NBQX (300 μM), CPP (30 μM) and MCPG (30 μM).
Top, traces aligned separately to press and release showing
no difference in kinematics from beginning (blue, first 1/3 of trials, n=190) to
end (black, last 1/3 of trials, n=190) of the session. Bottom,
traces aligned to the cue show that lever releases do not occur sooner in the
last 1/3 of trials (black) as compared to the first 1/3 of trials (blue). Shaded
area is ±SEM across trials. B) Summary of average lever release times
(20–80% rise time) across NBQX 0.5s cue prediction sessions (n=14
sessions, 6 mice). C) Summary of mean reaction time for all 0.5 s cue prediction
sessions where NBQX (n=14) CPP (n=14) and MCPG (n=8) were applied locally to LS
(blue; n=6 mice) compared to summary of cue reaction sessions (black; replotted
from Fig 1G). Error bars are ± SEM
across sessions. D) Summary of mean change in reaction time from the beginning
to the end of NBQX 0.5s cue prediction sessions (blue; n=10 sessions, 6 mice)
compared to cue prediction and reaction sessions (replotted from Fig. 1H). Error bars are ± SEM across
sessions.
