Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

Overview of the before-after differences across events with seemingly similar motor and reward properties, but different abstract meanings. The figure depicts the general effects as observed across areas. For the first lever press, neural timescales decrease after the event. For the final lever presses, neural timescales increase after the event. For the leave lever presses, we observe the same effect. For stay lever presses, there are no significant changes in the before-after change in neural timescales. Circles: changes after the event. Squares: changes before the event. Red: statistically significant before-after changes across all areas.
