Extended Data Fig. 5: Lever presses occur in discrete positions and error mode distributions.
From: The role of motor cortex in motor sequence execution depends on demands for flexibility
a, Spatial distributions of an example rat’s nose for rewarded/unrewarded sequences, sampled pre- and post-lesion. b, Same as a, but the nose location is sampled only during the lever press. c, The variability of the nose position, quantified by computing the entropy of the spatial distribution across 2000 trials, for rewarded and unrewarded presses (dark/light shades) and pre-lesion/post-lesion (red/blue), averaged across rats (n = 5). Two of the seven ‘full task’ rats did not have videos recorded from the top view and were excluded from this analysis. Shaded area indicates s.e.m. d, Proportion of error trials classified as ‘motor errors’ for both CUE and WM (n = 7), and the AUTO-only tasks (n = 6), across lesion conditions. P > 0.05, two-tailed t-test.
