Fig. 4: Target wait preference and population tuning curves.
From: A neuronal correlate for time interval estimation in the crow’s telencephalon
A, D Incidence of neurons preferring either the 1500, 3000, or 6000 ms target duration, a 1200 ms period aligned to either after the cue offset (A) or prior to response onset (D). B, E Population tuning curves for neuronal activity aligned to after the cue offset (B, n = 178) and prior to response onset (E, n = 135). Curves were obtained by averaging the normalized tuning curves of all single units selectively preferring either the 1500, 3000, or 6000 ms wait duration from (A) and (D). Error bars show the standard error of the mean. C, F Weighted standard deviation quantifying the width of tuning functions for the population of neurons with a target duration preference when aligned to the cue offset (C, n = 178) and to the response onset (F, n = 135). The line within each box represents the median; the box spans the interquartile range (25th to 75th percentile), and the whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values.
