Figure 5.

Inactivation of the auditory cortex did not affect the timing of behavior. A, Silencing the auditory cortex during the signal detection task did not affect the time spent sampling the sound in the center port (p = 0.0925, Wilcoxon signed-rank test; N = 8 mice). Each pair of points corresponds to one mouse. B, Silencing the auditory cortex during the signal detection task did not affect the time spent moving toward the reward port (p = 0.779, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Each point corresponds to one mouse. C, The effect of silencing the auditory cortex (No AC) on time spent sampling the sound in the center port was not correlated with the effect of visual distraction (control) on sampling time (p = 0.675, r = 0.177; linear correlation coefficient). D, The effect of silencing the auditory cortex on time spent moving toward the reward port was not correlated with the effect of visual distraction on time spent moving toward the reward port (p = 0.686, r = –0.171; linear correlation coefficient).
