Extended Data Fig. 7: Analysis of activity along the dorsoventral axis in latRM.

a, Experimental scheme depicting recording in dorsal versus ventral latRM during pellet task, with the focus on reaching versus food handling as behaviours (magenta shades: dorsal recording sites; cyan shades: ventral recording sites). b, Pellet-reach-tuned (left; n = 36) and handling-tuned (right; n = 52) latRM population ordered by peak time of respective behaviour onset. Dorsoventral recording position (4 depth) are indicated to the right of plot by a colour code. Bottom plots show average responses of all neurons as well as corresponding shuffled data. Colour scale depicts low (0) to high (1) for relative mean-subtracted firing rate and low (0 Hz) to high (100 Hz) for baseline firing rate; grey shades, ±s.e.m.; ***P <  0.001; Wilcoxon non-parametric signed-rank test. Bonferroni correction was applied to account for multiple comparisons.
