Figure 3

Modulation of vmPFC neuronal spikes by vmPFC 20–40 Hz events in control mice. (A) Two sample cells showing significant reductions in their firing rates during vmPFC 20–40 Hz events. (Top) A raster plot showing the spike patterns of a vmPFC neuron aligned to the centers of individual vmPFC 20–40 Hz events. Each dot indicates a spike. (Bottom) Average firing rate changes corresponding to the raster plots. (B) Relationship between baseline firing rate and percentage change in firing rate during vmPFC 20–40 Hz events (n = 14 cells). Each dot represents a vmPFC neuron. The magenta and blue dots in Fig. 3A show cell #1 and cell #2, respectively.
