Each row describes how we calculated the value of a control variable used in Figure 7C. The rows contain the name of the variable in the left column, a verbal description of the variable in the middle column, and the session pairs used in the right column. We controlled the relationship between the dependent and independent variables displayed in Figure 7C by reconstructing the GLM with the addition of a behavioral variable to the model. In total, we used six different behavioral controls derived from three behavioral characteristics (speed, acceleration, and absolute angular velocity) and two different methodological approaches (mean differences shown in top three rows and means displayed in bottom three rows). The top three rows describe mean differences (method 1). For each animal, we calculated the average value of a behavioral variable (speed, acceleration, absolute angular velocity) for the sessions of interest. Subsequently, we calculated the absolute difference between the mean values for the sessions of interest and averaged to obtain a single value for a given animal. The bottom three rows (method 2) describe average behavioral parameters. For each animal, we calculated the mean of the behavioral parameter of interest for the listed sessions. Subsequently, we averaged to obtain a single value describing the behavior of a given animal across the listed sessions.
