14-tetrode microdrive 64 channel Neuralynx Cheetah system Extrafield firing at the high-cost decision point
Nonlocal representations at the choice point preferentially sweep forward of the animal Nonlocal representations at the choice point sweep down the two choices separately
Nonlocal representations are correlated but not defined by the orientation of motion Nonlocal representations occur at locations of highly variable orientation of motion Difference between histograms of reconstruction error distance during samples with variable orientation of motion and during the rest of the session.
Development of nonlocal representations with experience Splitter cells – unindentified extrafield firing of place cells multiple-T task The total amount of nonlocal reconstructed probability decreased In contrast, on the cued-choice task, the forward component of the sweep maintained nonlocality.
