Exemplar press-related channel. by David T. Bundy (7586414)

“…</b> Multi-unit firing rates were estimated by counting spike times within 100 ms windows shifted by 50 ms between windows and then averaging across trials. Mean firing rates show a complex task response with firing rates significantly (p<0.05) decreased around the lever press and 650 ms prior to the reach to the pellet and then significantly increased immediately prior to the reach to the pellet. …”
