Differences in lever-pull frequency during the resting-state and task conditions. (a) Schematic illustrations of behavioral recordings during the resting-state and task sessions. In the task session (top), mice must pull the lever to earn the water rewards in response to the tone cue (see Methods). In the resting condition (bottom), tone cues and water rewards were not presented; however, mice could freely pull the lever. (b) The number of lever pulls/min is shown in each individual animal. Left and right panels correspond to the task and resting-state conditions, respectively. Animals are sorted in descending order by a sum of the numbers of lever pulls/min in sessions 1, 7, and 15 of the resting-state session. Transparent tiles (e.g., the 14th and 16th from the top in the most right-hand column of the resting-state) correspond to invalid data points due to missing data. (c) Violin plots of lever pulls/min during the resting-state (cyan) and task (magenta) conditions (top). If the lever was pulled continuously at 100 ms, the lever pull was considered as “pulled.” Cyan and magenta horizontal bars in each plot indicate the mean value. Violin plots of the differences in the numbers of lever pulls/min from resting-state recording day 0 (bottom).
