Cyan lines indicate trial starts, pink line indicates success, black line indicates end of a failure trial. Middle panel: reconstruction of cursor location. Animal had to bring the cursor to position 8 on screen for 300 ms to get reward. Bottom panel: Video of brain activity, with location of R1 (blue box) and R2 (green box) indicated.
