Figure 1 Experimental Design and Place Cell Decoding (A) Schematic of an experimental session. Reward was increased to 4× baseline at one end of the track in epoch 2 of Experiment One and decreased to 0× in Experiment Two. See Figure S1 for running behavior. (B) Ripple (150–250 Hz)-filtered local field potential (top) and Bayesian decoding of the associated spike train during behavior (bottom). Actual position of rat overlaid in cyan. (C) Four example SWRs (top) with associated replay (bottom), which occurred at the ends of the track during the behavioral episode shown in (B) within the indicated time windows.

Figure 2 SWRs and Replays Are Increased at 4× Reward (A) SWR occurrence during the first 20 s of each stopping period over 15 laps summed across all sessions. Color bar indicates number of SWRs. (B) Difference in SWR rate between ends of the track over the first 20 s of each stopping period (mean ± SEM, n = maximum of 467 stopping periods in the equal reward condition and 217 in the unequal reward condition. Note that this number decreases over stopping period due to variability of time spent at the reward well.). (C) Percent difference in SWR rate from unchanged to increased reward end of track in the equal and unequal reward conditions (mean ± 95% confidence interval). (D) Replay occurrence, as shown in (A). (E) Difference in replay rate between ends of the track, as shown in (B). (F) Difference in replay rate between ends of the track, as shown in (C). ∗∗∗p < 0.001.

Figure 3 Reverse, but Not Forward, Replays Encode Increase in Reward (A) Unidirectional place fields of 118 simultaneously recorded units in CA1. “Up” direction (left) and “down” direction (right) fields sorted by “up” field centers (top) or “down” field centers (bottom). (B) Four example replays decoded using bi-directional fields (top), “up” directional fields (middle), and “down” directional fields (bottom). Replays were assigned the following identities from left to right: forward replay moving up the track, forward replay moving down the track, reverse replay moving up the track, and reverse replay moving down the track. (C) Forward replay occurrence in the first 20 s of each stopping period over 15 laps summed across all sessions. Color bar indicates number of replays. (D) Difference in forward replay rate between ends of the track in the first 20 s of each stopping period (mean ± SEM, as in Figure 2B). (E) Percent difference in forward replay rate from unchanged to increased reward end of track in the equal and unequal reward conditions (mean ± 95% confidence interval). (F) Reverse replay occurrence, as shown in (C). (G) Difference in reverse replay rate between ends of the track, as shown in (D).
