Testing the spatial specialization of value coding in amygdala. Number of sensitive units for each of the tested variables by major amygdalar subnuclei group (BL: deep and basolateral; CM: superficial or corticomedial; R: remaining nuclei). We tested for independence between major amygdalar subnuclei groups and proportion of significant units with a χ2 test (2 degrees of freedom, p values indicated for each variable) and found no evidence for any subnuclei group being more likely to contain sensitive units for any tested variable.
