OT activity represents the subsequent behavioral response. A, Example single-neuron raster and peristimulus time histogram to rewarded and unrewarded odors separated by trial response type. Red vertical lines indicate the timing of detected licks on each trial. Inset, Overlapping waveforms of the isolated neuron. Calibration: 0.2 ms. B, auROC calculated for each trial response from the neuron illustrated in A, and the corresponding boxplots indicating the range of trial lick onsets for hit trials (blue; median onset, 0.61 s) and false alarm trials (gray; median onset, 0.71 s). False alarm auROC values closely match the hits. C, Time course of significant trial response selectivity for correct and error trial comparisons from 61 task-responsive neurons. Neurons are sorted based on their trial response preference and latency of selectivity (n = 29, 37, and 25 neurons, respectively).
