Fig. 3: Low firing and Intermediate firing neurons preferentially decrease firing to threat cues.
From: Ventral pallidum neurons dynamically signal relative threat
a Mean ± SEM normalized firing rate to danger (D, red), uncertainty (U, purple) and safety (S, blue) is shown from 2 s prior to cue onset to 2 s following cue offset for the Low firing neurons (n = 74). Cue onset and offset are indicated by vertical black lines. SEM is indicated by shading. b Mean (bar) and individual (data points), normalized firing rate for Low firing neurons during the first 1 s cue interval (onset, left), the last 5 s cue interval (late cue, middle), and 2 s following cue offset (delay, right) are shown for each cue (D, danger, red; U, uncertainty, purple; and S, safety, blue). c Mean ± SEM normalized firing rate for the Intermediate firing neurons (n = 34), shown as in a. d Mean (bar) and individual (data points), normalized firing rate for Intermediate firing neurons, as in b. +95% bootstrap confidence interval for differential cue firing does not contain zero. +95% bootstrap confidence interval for normalized firing rate does not contain zero (colored plus signs).
