Fig. 5: Physiological characteristics of cell classes.
From: Functional role of cell classes in monkey prefrontal cortex after learning a working memory task

A Baseline firing rate (FR) of each cell class for pre-training units. B Baseline Fano factor (FF) of each cell class for pre-training units. C Baseline coefficient of variation of the interspike interval distribution (CV) of each cell class for pre-training units. D Baseline local variation (LV) of each cell class for pre-training units. The number of pre-training units was n = 35, 101, 166, and 123 for NS1, NS2, BS1, and BS2 classes, respectively. E Baseline FR of each cell class for post-training units. F Baseline FF of each cell class for post-training units. G Baseline CV of each cell class for post-training units. H Baseline LV of each cell class for post-training units. All measures were calculated during a 1000 ms baseline fixation period. The number of pre-training units was n = 36, 146, 281, and 97 for NS1, NS2, BS1, and BS2 classes, respectively. Each box plot shows the median (horizontal line), interquartile range (box), and whiskers extending to 1.5 times the interquartile range. Gray dots represent individual data points for each unit, and larger black dots indicate group means. Statistical significance was assessed using the Kruskal-Wallis test for multiple comparisons (p < 0.05) and the Mann-Whitney U test with FDR adjustment for pairwise comparisons. Dotted, dashed, and solid lines indicate p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.005 (Mann-Whitney U test, FDR adjusted), respectively.
