Figure 5. Individual Modules Are Associated with Different Feeding, Exposure, Activity, and Perseveration Response Patterns.

(A) The plot shows statistically significant correlations between module 2 or 65 (rows) and keystone measures of feeding, exposure, and activity in the exploration phase (columns). Correlations are calculated using the Spearman test on data from all 191 study mice (q < 0.1). Empty white squares indicate no significant correlation (q > 0.1). The magnitude of significant positive (blue) and negative (red) correlations between modules and keystone measures are indicated by dot size and shade (see legend). Both modules are significantly associated with the total food consumed (E-TFC-0) but are linked to different patterns of activity, exposure, and feeding in the exploration phase based on time spent and visits in different zones of the arena at different times during the trial (five 5-min time bins shown: −1, −2, −3, −4, and −5 and overall [0]). Thus, the different modules link to different economic patterns.

(B) Representative traces of the x-y movement patterns for modules 2 and 65 are shown. Each module involves a different movement and temporal pattern.

(C) The plot shows correlations between modules 53 and 67 with keystone measures of activity, exposure, feeding, and perseverative responses in the foraging phase. Both modules are significantly associated with total time at the former food pot (pot 2) at the beginning of the trial (F-TTP2–1), a measure of memory of the former food location. However, the two modules differ in links to other features describing activity, exposure, feeding, and memory and perseveration responses.

(D) Representative foraging phase traces of the x-y movement patterns of excursions for modules 53 and 67 are shown. The different module forms and links to economic patterns are consistent with different functions.
