Extended Data Fig. 4

a, Transient-Persistent (TP) indices of GPe neurons, VP cells and TANs in the reward trials of all four blocks. The mean value of the absolute deviation from baseline on the interval [1-2 s] was subtracted from the maximum of the absolute deviation from baseline on the interval [0-1 s]. The result was divided by the sum of these two real numbers to obtain the TP index. Each dot represents the TP index of a single cell (N = 97, 43 and 24 for the GPe, VP and TAN, respectively). Bars indicate the mean TP indices. Error bars represent SEMs. **P = 0.0036 (VP and GPe), ***P = 6 ×10−4 (TAN and GPe), two-sided Mann-Whitney U test. b, TP indices of GPe neurons, VP cells and TANs in the neutral trials. Same conventions as in (a). **P = 0.0059 (VP and GPe), two-sided Mann-Whitney U test. c, TP indices of GPe neurons, VP cells and TANs in the aversive trials. Same conventions as in (a). *P = 0.0287 (TAN and GPe), two-sided Mann-Whitney U test.
