Fig. 3: Outcome encoding in 7a did not merely reflect reward reception.

a–d Comparison of outcome encodings between ISAL task and a visual saccade task. a The outcome selectivity of 263 7a neurons were shown for two ISAL sessions. b Outcome selectivity of the same neurons were shown for the saccade task, with separate quantification performed for trials using double-sized rewards and trials using regular-sized rewards. Neurons were presented in the same order as in (a, b). c Comparison of the averaged outcome selectivity between two tasks. The black stars denote the time points with significant difference between the two tasks (P < 0.01, repeated ANOVA, two-sided). d Changes in neuron types between different tasks. e–g Comparison of outcome selectivity between sessions using different levels of punishment. e The outcome selectivity of 833 7a neurons were shown separately for the data sessions with and without the time-out punishment. f Comparison of the averaged outcome selectivity between the data sessions with and without the time-out punishment. (P < 0.01, paired t-test, two-sided). g Changes in cell types between the two task conditions. h Comparison of average outcome selectivity between trials following outcome switches (correct→error or error→correct) and those following outcome repetitions (correct→correct or error→error). Shaded regions in (c, f, h) denote SEMs.
