Abbreviations for taste stimuli are as in Table 1. Trials, total number of trials for each stimulus, number in parentheses is the median number of trials per session across animals; ILI, interlick interval; No. of pauses, the number of pauses within a 5-lick taste stimulus trial; Pause length, the median time (s) of pauses that occurred within a 5-lick taste stimulus trial; 5 licks, the time (s) to complete all five licks of a stimulus trial. All values are medians.
