Results of the correlation analysis for each PF area between the intrinsic timescales in the fixation period and the ROC values in subsequent periods of the task. The ROC value was computed in each PF area only for the task periods in which that area encoded the spatial response or the strategy (or both) signal (Tsujimoto et al. 2012). The number of neurons analyzed was 58 for PFp, 84 for PFdl, and 76 for PFo. The correlation coefficient (Pearson’s coefficient, r) and the corresponding P-value (P) are shown. Only PFdl shows a significant correlation (P < 0.05) for the response signal during the late–delay and feedback periods
