Fig. 4: RSC neurons encode task variables with differential stability.

a Example cells displaying significant decoding of context (cell 1, top), motor choice (cell 2, top-middle), post-decision outcome (cell 3, bottom-middle), and post-trial outcome (cell 4, bottom) in day 1. Solid line, mean; shaded area, 95% CIs. Decoding performance obtained using support vector machine classifiers. b Average decoding of the indicated task variables in single cells. All cells exhibit significant decoding in day 1. Only comparisons to days 2 and 4 are shown for clarity. Note that decoding of outcome and context is more stable than decoding of motor choice. c Average decoding performance of cells that show significant decoding in day 1 (mean ± s.e.m.; n = 197, 114, 129, 115, 121 cells in days 1–5 [context]; n = 173, 86, 120, 94, 126 cells in days 1–5 [motor]; n = 164, 109, 115, 100, 107 cells in days 1–5 [post-decision outcome]; n = 488, 234, 324, 319, 353 cells in days 1–5 [post-trial outcome]). Top inset shows significantly different comparisons for fit parameters (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; two-sided F-test calculated by LME models; see “Methods” section for details). d Percentage of cells with significant decoding of 1, 2, 3, or 4 task variables in day 1. For all panels: s trial start, d decision point, e trial end. Source data for C are provided as a Source Data file.
