A minority of PC dendrites can respond to both reward and the reward-predictive cue after learning.

(A) Mean cue-aligned PSTH for PC dendrites that exhibited Cspk responses to reward. (B) Mean cue-aligned PSTH for PC dendrites that did not exhibit Cspk responses to reward.

Data organization files.

Contains three files: A readme file that describes how the data are organized. "expNums_2P" and "expNums_LS_piezo" contain descriptive information about the two-photon experiments. expNums_2P is a 1x3 structure where each dimension is a different behavior condition (1=day1, 2=dayN+1, 3=dayN+2). The subfields contain information about which mice were imaged on each day, which lobules were imaged, and how many neurons were in the field of view. The file expNums_LS_piezo contains the same information but only for the lobule simplex datasets collected with the piezo movement data.
