  1. Neuronal activity was labeled as “increased” or “decreased”, if the neuronal firing rate increased or decreased, respectively, considering the baseline period, or “multiphasic”, if a given neuron showed both increased and decreased modulation. If no modulation was found, neurons were labelled “unresponsive”. The table shows the fraction of each neuron type, the response magnitude (the average difference in firing rate between the significant firing modulation period and the baseline) and the neuronal response duration (the average time for which the significant firing modulation was sustained).
