Supplementary Figure 5

a. Correlation between Gaussian fit (R2) and the absolute distance between the PS and the CS during generalization (r=-0.137, p=0.046; during habituation: r=-0.01, p=0.92). The slightly better fit for neurons with PS closer to the CS can reflect the narrower tuning described.

b. Distribution of PS in pre- and post-conditioning periods. There was no change in variance of the distributions (right, variance ± CI, p>0.1), indicating that in the current paradigm, neurons did not shift their PS selectively towards the CS.

c. Daily behavioral PS (center of Gaussian fit to the behavioral responses) varied with the neural PS recorded in the same session, but only during post-conditioning phase (left, r=0.38 p=0.005; pre-conditioning: right, r=-0.04 p=0.8).
