Fig. 6: Noise correlation.
From: Prefrontal cortical plasticity during learning of cognitive tasks

a–d Box plot of spike-count correlation values (noise correlation) for pairs of neurons (n = 2576) recorded in the passive task, as a function of distance between electrodes, at different training phases. Each box indicates the median, first and third quartile, and 1.5x interquartile range of noise correlation values computed from pairs of neurons at the distance indicated in the abscissa. e–h. As in a–d, for spike-count correlation values (n = 2603) in the active task. i The average correlation values of the pairs of neurons recorded in the same electrodes (n = 477 and 474 for passive and active tasks). Error bars represent SEM. Stars indicate significant effects 2-way ANOVA; ***p < 0.001 for tasks and phases.
