Behavioral impacts of selective targeting of PF and CL thalamostriatal neurons.

Behavioral paradigm	PF	CL
Locomotor activity	Spontaneous: normal	Spontaneous: normal
	Drug-induced: normal	Drug-induced: normal
Motor skill learning	Normal	Normal
Simple lever press	Normal	Normal
Visual discrimination	Acquisition: reduced correct response ratio, lengthened correct response time	Acquisition: normal correct response ratio, normal correct response time
	Performance: reduced correct response ratio, normal correct response time	Performance: transiently reduced correct response ratio, lengthened correct response time
Reversal learning	Not tested	Impaired performance
Attentional set-shifting	Not tested	Impaired performance

Behavioral data for PF and CL neurons are from references by Kato et al. (2011a) and Kato et al. (2018), respectively. PF, parafascicular nucleus; CL, central lateral nucleus.
