Examples of firing patterns of NTS cells. (A) Raster and PSTH of a neuron’s firing profile during licking. Each lick is positioned at t = 0; time bin = 10 ms. This cell increases its firing rate just before the occurrence of each lick. (B) Rasters and PSTHs of an anti-lick cell. The zero point is positioned just before the beginning of a lick bout (defined as at least 1 s of continuous licking), upper, or at the end of a lick bout, lower. Time bin = 100 ms. This cell shows a lower firing rate during a lick bout and a higher firing rate when the rat is not licking. (C) Rasters and PSTHs of a lick bout cell. The zero point is positioned just before the beginning of a lick bout, upper, or at the end of a lick bout, lower. This cell shows a higher firing rate during a lick bout and a lower firing rate when the rat is not licking. In (A–C) each green triangle indicates the occurrence of a lick.
