Neural activity related to action value and chosen value. (a) Sample neurons coding left action value (QL). Trials were grouped into quartiles of left action value. Light blue dashed line, onset time of memory stage for the corresponding session. (b) Population data showing temporal profiles of neural signals for left action value (QL), right action value (QR), and chosen value (QC) around the onset of reward stage (time 0). Shown are fractions of neurons significantly responsive to a given variable (500-ms sliding window advanced in 50-ms steps). Light blue dashed line, mean onset time of memory stage. Cyan, ACC; orange, PLC; purple, ILC. Filled circles, actual data; empty square, trial-shifted data (control). Black squares/bars on top, significant differences (permutation test, p < 0.05) between the original and trial-shuffled data. (c) Action value and chosen value signals during the first 1 s of the reward stage. Filled bars, actual data; empty bars, trial-shifted data (control). FON, fraction of neurons. *Significant difference between the actual and trial-shifted data (p < 0.05, permutation test).
