Learned changes in neural activity. A: population peristimulus time histogram in the trials at the end of the learning session (blue, after 30th trial precondition), at the beginning of the learning session (red, first 5 trials), and on base trials (black). Preferred and nonpreferred conditions are presented with solid and dashed lines, respectively. B: the difference between the firing rate in the preferred and nonpreferred learning conditions at the end (x-axis) vs. the beginning (y-axis) of the learning session. Each dot shows data from a single cell. C: comparison of single-cell responses in the learning and base trials. Each dot shows the single-cell deviation from baseline activity at the end of learning (x-axis) vs. the base trials (y-axis) for the preferred or nonpreferred condition.
