Summary of the number of taste-responsive and total CA1 cells recorded from each animal. Only the cells meeting the inclusion criteria (see Materials and Methods) are reported. Putative pyramidal cells (Pyr) and interneurons (Int) were identified on the basis of firing rate and spike width parameters. Neurons were classified as “taste-responsive” if they exhibited responses to taste presence, identity, and/or palatability.
