The jitter of 0.1 and 0.2 ms is printed to one significant figure, so its 10% tolerance is read as the printed precision (within 0.05 ms when rounded to 0.1 ms). The paper gives no rule for which spike counts as antidromic. What it says is that pulses came in pairs 10 ms apart every 500 ms (Methods, Electrophysiology), that IT jitter to the second pulse of a pair was smaller \"following a conditioning stimulus\" (Methods; Extended Data Fig. 5g), which suggests the reported jitter is to the first pulse, and that the evoked spikes had \"sub-millisecond temporal jitter (mean, 0.15 ms)\" (Results). Readings are (w) the first spike within a window after the first pulse of each pair, with the window open (the activated neurons' mean latencies of 8.3 and 9.8 ms need one of about 10 ms, up to the second pulse); (c) as (w), leaving out pulses preceded shortly by a spontaneous spike (the collision trials); (r) as (w), with only spikes in the evoked peak of each neuron's latency histogram.

Reproduced when, under a reading, the median background rate is below 0.55 Hz (the paper's bound of 0.5 Hz widened by 10%) and at least 90% of the cells have peak rates from 4.5 to 44 Hz; methods_underspecified when readings disagree."

The lasso penalty strength is not given anywhere; the code passes none, so statsmodels' alpha 0 applies, which is followed. With alpha 0 no weight is set to zero, which does not match the Methods' account of the lasso selecting features; this is recorded as a deviation, and a penalised fit cannot be run from the paper. R2 - McFadden's pseudo-R2 on test sets of 100 random 75 / 25 splits, median (code); in-sample R2 is a variant. Significance - Wald p < 0.05 of the weights of a one-step unpenalised refit on all neurons (code). Reproduced when both R2 are within tolerance, each regime has seven significant features, and the signs are positive for firing rate, spatial extent, synapse class (excitatory) and layer 5 and negative for distance in both regimes.

The result without the inversion is shown as a variant. Pixel-wise accuracy is, per image, the fraction of pixels whose class (background, myelin, axon) in the prediction equals the class in the dandiset's segmentation, at the native pixel size (Methods, Pipeline overview and Pixel-wise accuracy); the value is the mean over images (Table 3 legend). The test set is open, as the paper names neither the mice nor their group. The readings are (a) every mouse image in the dandiset, which also holds the model's training images; (b) the images of the control mice only, following the Discussion's statement that the models were trained and tested on healthy tissues. Neither reading is the paper's test set (3 of the 20 mice, disjoint from the 17 training mice, Table 1), so both may hold training images and a match is weaker evidence than a test on held-out mice.

Pole difference during the pulse - the cathodic lm,eff exceeds the anodic at most conditioning strengths of 1000 V/cm and above (Results 3.4, paragraph 4, gives both poles about equally permeabilized at 570 and 780 V/cm and the cathodic reduction larger above them; the cathodic 1400 V/cm point counts as higher if its dF is negative, which the paper reads as no charging). No pole difference at the test pulse - a two-sided paired t-test of cathodic against anodic normalized test dF, per strength, finds none at p < 0.05 (the paper names no test for this; the paired t-test is the Methods' Student's t-test applied to the two poles of the same cells; the unpaired t-test is shown as a variant).

The code's coding-direction variant points the abstract's way but is not significant. The sample to late delay similarity is 0.473 +/- 0.214 for PTupper and 0.216 +/- 0.204 for PTlower, with PTupper higher in only 83 of 100 bootstraps.

Part (a) is thus supported under the paper's measure but not under the criterion's. Part (b), selectivity for lick direction in the response epoch, is reversed in every variant. Under the variant reading of \"motor commands\" as a response epoch rate that differs from baseline, PTlower is ahead, 53 of 56 against 37 of 44, without reaching significance (one-sided Fisher p = 0.080).

PTupper CDlate selectivity is not significant before the last lick.

The answer on light trials named two readings, (t1) all trials and (t2) trials without the light, either of which may decide; the outcome is the same under both, so it is unchanged. The outcome rests on reading (a)(i) because the protocol judges a claim of absence on the paper's test as written (\"the overall spike count across the recorded population\"). It is fragile: in the 570 ms window, where the Results report the same P = 0.13 for all task-selective neurons, all four tests give P = 0.022 to 0.050 with a contralateral excess.

The selective count is measured and misses under every reading, unlike the intermediate units of units-classification, a class the dandiset lacks. The measured values are from the reading (1.3 s response epoch, span a, mean over epochs, correct trials). The dandiset holds 4,706 included cells in 59 planes, the paper's numbers. Over 16 readings, the task-related count is 2,551 to 2,772 with span (a), within 2,740 +/- 274, and 3,104 to 3,134 with span (b), above it; the contra-preferring fraction is 0.547 to 0.590, within tolerance in 15 readings.

No reading puts all five values within tolerance; the closest misses the selective count by 0.5 (1,417; 1.5 s response epoch, span a, mean over epochs, all non-early trials). The answer on the response epoch made (r1) 1.3 s and (r2) 1.5 s readings of the criterion; both were already run, so the outcome is unchanged. The selective count is below tolerance with the mean over epochs (1,315 to 1,417 where the task count fits) and above it with each epoch separately (1,844 to 1,957); the paper's 1,575 lies between. Baselines near 0 are rare (F0 at or below 0 in 145 of 305,349 included ROI-trials, below a tenth of the ROI's median F in 622); leaving them out, a check chosen here and not a reading, gives 1,416 (cut at 0) or 1,419 (cut at 0.1, then all five values within tolerance) in the closest reading, so the selective count sits at the edge of the tolerance; the cut is not a reading and does not decide the outcome.

In the 24 experiment-2 sessions of convention A the trace holds no licks; on correct trials its maximum after the go cue is a median 0.0019 above the pre-go baseline, and pooled over 3660 correct and 61 no-response trials no rule detects a lick on correct trials more often than on no-response trials (3 s.d. 0.59 against 0.38; level 0.14 0.05 against 0.03, in one session, 28 ms after the go cue; all others 0.02 or less).

The MM mean is dominated by ROIs with a non-positive baseline (range -1.15 to 0.71); without them (V2) MM peaks at 4.80 s, still after ALM. The peak is taken over the whole extracted window (the bins of convention T). Searching only before the go cue, a variant that does not decide, MM peaks before ALM under every bin and dF/F reading (V1 2.08 against 4.16 s with T1 bins and 0.80 against 4.14 s with T2; V2 1.51 against 4.09 s and 1.53 against 4.14 s), and within the delay epoch alone V1 gives 2.08 against 4.16 s (T1) and 2.60 against 4.14 s (T2). The outcome therefore turns on the window of the peak, which the criterion does not name; a question was asked after the first verification (questions/000015.yaml) and is not yet answered, and the outcome is kept on the whole window until it is. The answer on the criterion's terms (the paper does not say) named readings L1 and L2 for the sample-epoch level and E1 (last bin) and E2 (mean over the last 0.5 s) for the end of the delay; E2 is new here. The ALM mean over the last 0.5 s is 0.205 (T1), also above both levels, so the second part holds in all 8 combinations of bins and readings and the first fails in all; the answer on F0 <= 0 made V1 decide and V2 a check, as run before.

Under S2 with T2 bins and the bootstrap over cells (H2), the IT minus PT onset is 1.801 s (O1, bootstrap SD 0.415 s, p = 0.003) and 1.401 s (O2, SD 0.434 s, p = 0.006), within 1.4 +- 0.6 s at p < 0.01, so the criterion (one combination) is met; the measured value is the first such combination in the criterion's order (O1, S2, H2).

With every rate map shifted it calls 56.1% of cells significant (0.843 on the 1.6 m tracks, 0.905 on the 2 m track, 0.140 on the circular track), so about 234 would be expected by chance. The paper calls these PCC scores significant, which implies a 5% false-positive rate; this test is far from it, so it is not the paper's procedure. The excess is on the linear tracks, where the contribution is taken on the template the event was selected for. A best-template variant of the contribution has a false-positive rate of 0.206 (0.132 in PRE, 0.118 in POST) and finds 188 cells, outside the tolerance; at alpha 0.001 its false-positive rate is 0.031 and it finds 95. The false-positive rates are measured on every fourth PRE and POST event, so on all events they would likely be higher. The best-template numbers are not identical across machines (the verifier's executed copy printed 190 cells and 0.129 in PRE); no conclusion rests on the difference.

It classifies head-direction cells, compares their rates and pairwise correlations across waking, REM and slow-wave sleep, estimates the speed of the internal head-direction signal from cross-correlograms, and tests noise correlations and decoding. The units carry no brain region, so the comparisons between the two structures cannot be made.",

The files hold 1959 unit rows in 40 sessions against the paper's 1077 recorded cells in 42 sessions. By mouse the fraction is 0.108 to 0.386; in the mice that appear to be thalamus only it is 0.133 (133 of 1000) against the paper's thalamic 0.336, and in the mice that appear dual-site 0.335 (245 of 731). With a concentration threshold of 0.8 or 1.2 the count is 424 or 357. None of the 34 units with unsorted spike times in these sessions is an HD cell. The count passes only with Mouse12-120808 as deposited, where position and spikes do not share a clock and no unit passes the criteria. With position realigned by the best shift of each quarter of the epoch, that session has 13 HD cells (12 with one constant shift of -2.6 s), and the count is 391 (390), above the upper bound of 388.3, so the match of the count is fragile. The unit rows cannot be brought down to the paper's 1077 cells from the files (1826 rows fire at 0.05 Hz or more and 1526 at 0.5 Hz or more; unit ids are 0 to N-1 and carry no shank or cluster number).

The 70 ms window can hold more than one candidate peak; in 10.5% of pre pairs the lag changes when the window is narrowed to half the theta period, which gives 0.156 cm/ms. The compression magnitude cannot be judged from this method. The direction of the change agrees with the paper under the criterion's fit; the inverse slope goes the other way (control 9.085, cooling 10.420 cm/ms, lower in 1 of 9).",

By rat the air puff template rises in 7 of 8 Rat08, 2 of 3 Rat10 and 1 of 3 Rat11 sessions, so its result rests mostly on Rat08. Reading c laps include the time on the starting platform and stops (median lap 22.6 s, but minutes long in early Rat08 sessions); leaving out Rat08-20130708, the only session with fewer than 3 laps in a template (one safe lap of 23 s), gives air puff p = 0.0052, safe p = 0.0052 and air puff greater than safe p = 0.37 (13 sessions). Long laps are not limited to that session (median air puff laps of 660 s in Rat08-20130711, 192 s in Rat08-20130710 and 46 to 115 s in four other Rat08 sessions), so two further variants, with values of the author's that decide nothing, limit the platform time and stops. With laps of at most 30 s (11 sessions) the result is the same (air puff p = 0.034, safe p = 0.021, air puff greater than safe p = 0.71). With each lap cut to its last 10 s (14 sessions) the air puff test holds (p = 0.034) but the safe test does not reach p < 0.05 (10 of 14, p = 0.052), and air puff greater than safe has p = 0.36. The result under the criterion's laps thus depends in part on the time around the run that reading c laps hold; the criterion fixes reading c, so the outcome is unchanged. Before the answers to this attempt's questions (questions/000061.yaml) the claim was blocked as metadata_insufficient through aversive-direction-stronger; the answers removed that dependency, the claim using that claim's procedure but not its result, and confirmed that laps are judged on O1 reading c alone here.

Units are placed on the probes from their waveforms in the wideband signal. It tests the population activity, field sizes and trajectory selectivity of prefrontal neurons, monosynaptic connections found with a jitter test, the cell classes and distances they imply, and the task dependence, short-term plasticity and summation of the connections. The paper's example session and fourth rat are not in the dandiset.",

Two coincident partners transmit more than one, but less than twice as much. With 20 ms events, 29% supralinear (p = 0.998). The criterion's measure is biased towards sublinear (on synthetic satellites with linear summation it gives -0.0278, s.d. 0.0030). A variant against a linear prediction from each partner's one-spike events, with the response window from the first spike to the last, is unbiased there (0.0016, s.d. 0.0046) and detects supralinear input (0.198); on the data 4 of 40 satellites (10%) are above the linear prediction (median 0.0015 against 0.0239, p = 1), and 12 of 40 (30%) with 20 ms events.

With the post unit's mean rate as baseline (unbiased on synthetic satellites, -0.0021, s.d. 0.0068), the two-partner response is 0.0135 against a prediction of 0.0337, above it in 9 of 40 (22%), below it by Wilcoxon p = 0.00058; that baseline leaves in more background for two-partner events (median 0.0125 against 0.0074), which favours a supralinear result.

Shuffle 1, which has no rotation, scores 0.82 to 0.91 in every run, so this R2 rewards any consistent map from the first state to the last and is a weak test of the claim.

For Poisson units at constant rates with the same trials and Set times, the mean null slope is above the observed one in 8 of 8 and no observed slope exceeds the null's 95th percentile. With only the trials of the longest ts, which last the whole support, slopes are -0.106 to +0.529 per 100 ms and outside the null's 95% range in 1 of 8 (below it). The bootstrap intervals over trials are biased upward (the point estimate is below the interval in 2 of 8) and are not used. The observed slopes are below the null mean in 8 of 8 with all trials and in 8 of 8 with fixed trials, while the null's mean speed over the support is below the observed one in 7 of 8 (null / observed 0.65 to 1.18), so the null is not noisier than the data.

(2022) that can be tested on dandiset 000207, which holds spike times of medial temporal lobe neurons and the behaviour of 19 patients in a task with video clips that contain no boundary, a soft boundary or a hard boundary. It compares memory for temporal order and for scenes across the three kinds of clip, looks for boundary cells and event cells with the paper's definitions, counts neurons that respond to clip onsets, and measures how far the population state moves after a boundary. Eleven of the paper's twenty findings cannot be tested, because the dandiset has no local field potentials, no neurons outside the medial temporal lobe, no labels for the paper's cell classes, and no way to link test trials with soft or hard boundaries to the clips they came from.",

On short laser-only trials of the detection task, MM inhibition raises the right-lick probability from 0.333 in the inter-trial window to 0.553 in the response window (change 0.258, CI 0.045 to 0.483; 141 trials, 5 sessions, 3 mice); over ten other seeds the lower bound is 0.040 to 0.053, and the other eleven CIs include 0 in every seed. All cross-modal CIs and all long- laser CIs include 0; the paper gives one CI per area and task (MM detection -0.06 to 0.45), without saying which laser duration. The windows are the code's (GetBehavInfo, GetBehavInfo_tDetection). In the cross-modal task, licks on short laser-only trials are scored 0 to 2 s after the laser offset, in the detection task -0.8 to 1.2 s from it, which covers the laser. The paper's cross-modal CIs match the long-laser rows (MM -0.312 to 0.030 against -0.31 to 0.03), so the criterion's twelve CIs test more than the paper reports. Its detection CIs match neither the short, the long nor the pooled rows (the code's \"all laser trials\"; pooled MM 0.020 to 0.274 also excludes 0).

In e15_13f1_220117, whose mouse is not among the 15 of Figure 7f, the test at fixed lags of 0.8 to 3.2 ms detects connections in 5,073 of 11,319 possible pairs (0.448, against 31,932 of 184,230 or 0.173 in the paper), and 96.7% of pyramidal pairs share a target (paper 65.27%). In e13_26m1_211019, inside the Figure 7f cohort, it detects 0.407, with 96.7% of pairs sharing a target. The Methods test the three bins around the CCG peak, where this test uses fixed lags; a peak-centred variant (peak sought at lags up to 4.0 ms, a range the Methods do not give, chosen after the fixed-lag results were seen) detects 0.405 and 0.394, with 95.7% and 93.4% of pairs sharing a target. With a connection rate this far from the paper's under both forms, the procedure differs from the paper's, whose connections come from the lab's CellExplorer mono_res files (not public; the paper's code reads them and does not compute them). The difference may lie in this implementation as well as in what the Methods leave unstated (lag range, hollow fraction, CCG window).

The test is this attempt's version of the paper's (see the deviations of fig2e-dlight-predicts-future-usage).

The across-syllable count test of fig2b-dlight-usage-across-syllables run on DMS agrees with the paper (held-out r = 0.026, shuffle P = 0.170).

     "notes": "Under all 56 readings (O1 to O3, with a peak's centre as its maximum or centroid and its radius as that of a disc of the same area or the largest distance to one of its pixels) layer II has the largest fraction of grid cells, 0.592 to 0.718, above 0.5 and above layers III (0.529 to 0.604), V (0.297 to 0.415) and VI (0.354 to 0.485). Layer II is within tolerance under 32 of 56 readings; no deeper layer is within tolerance under any, each being well above the paper's fraction. Gridness above 0 makes 277 to 329 of 614 cells grid cells, against 203 of 627 in the paper. Per rat, layer II fractions are 0.41 to 0.90 and deeper ones 0 to 0.67; counting each (rat, depth, hemisphere, name) once keeps the order (0.680, 0.511, 0.356, 0.329). What the answer changed: the question on a peak's centre and radius was answered by naming both centres and both radii as readings. The radius as the largest distance to a pixel is new here (the attempt had used the disc of the same area only), and the central peak now takes the same centre and radius. The outcome is the same under every reading, as before (32 readings, layer II 0.620 to 0.718). Same outcome as 000582-sargolini-2006-01, for another reason. That attempt used its own grid score with a shuffled-data threshold, under which about a third of layer II cells were grid cells, so the majority part was in doubt; with the paper's criterion, gridness above 0, the majority and the order hold and the deeper layers' fractions are what falls short. Gridness above 0 is lax on these data: with each spike train shifted in time (5 shifts of 20 s or more per cell, first reading), 0.297 of the shifted maps have gridness above 0 (0.288 to 0.307 by layer), against observed 0.634, 0.559, 0.314 and 0.359; above the 95% point of the shifted gridness (0.216) the fractions are 0.408, 0.419, 0.186 and 0.197, and above the 99% point (0.362) 0.296, 0.348, 0.153 and 0.192, so under either stricter cut layer III is above layer II and the layer order the partial outcome rests on does not hold. This control is not the paper's criterion and does not decide the outcome, but it limits what the partial outcome shows. Counting each (rat, depth, hemisphere, name) once (425 of 614 cells) the order holds under all 56 readings and no reading has all four layers within tolerance (layer II 0.680 to 0.780, III 0.451 to 0.564, V 0.333 to 0.437, VI 0.316 to 0.458).",

Watson's U2 alone is significant for 39 to 41 of the 43 layer II cells, so the block correlation decides. The deeper fraction, 0.671 to 0.733, and layer V (0.924 to 0.937) are within tolerance; layer III (0.527 to 0.599) is below its range under every reading and layer VI (0.713 to 0.790) above it under two of four. The claim needs no layer II cell to pass, even for a partial reproduction. The two files, of 16 March 2006, show no sign of bad tracking: median LED separation 3.7 and 3.9 cm (4th and 6th smallest of 71 two-LED files), with fewer than 0.05% of samples above 15 cm; they are the only files spanning 150 cm. Without them layer II has no passing cell (0 of 17) and the deeper fractions are unchanged, which would be partially reproduced, but that variant selects files after seeing the result and does not decide the outcome. It is also weak: the 17 layer II cells left are all from rat 11278, 11 of them in sub-11278_ses-31080502, whose LEDs are more than 15 cm apart in 62% of samples; leaving that file out too, 0 of 6 pass, so the variant rests on 6 layer II cells with plausible tracking.

The earlier attempt called this claim reproduced. Its claim was the abstract's sentence, that grid, head-direction and conjunctive cells occur together in the deeper layers, which the data still show (table S1B, first reading, conjunctive cells 58, 25 and 30 in layers III, V and VI). The claim now carries the paper's per-layer fractions and requires no conjunctive cell in layer II, and with the paper's criteria neither holds. The layer II conjunctive cells (0.04 to 0.32 of layer II grid cells) are in the two 150-cm files of rat 11265 discussed under hd-layers. Without those files layer II has none; the four-layer chi-square has p 2.4e-07 to 0.00033 under reading (a), below 0.001 under all 112 readings, but 0.00014 to 0.054 under reading (b), below 0.001 under 8 of 112, so that variant would be partially reproduced under (a) and not reproduced under most of (b), and its readings disagree (methods_underspecified).

Under the paper's rule the two kinds of field are coupled, as a strong field raises the rotated shuffles at every bin. On synthetic cells, a cell with only a positive field is also flagged negative, and a cell with only a negative field is flagged positive under the rule without the peak. With the positive rule without the peak, 55.8% of ROIs on average have both kinds, 10.6% only a negative field and 13.9% only a positive one. The coupling explains part of the 66.4%, not all of it; 78.4% of ROIs with a positive field have a negative field, and so do 37.7% of ROIs without one, about 3.5 times the surrogate rate. Counting only ROIs with a negative field and no positive field gives 10.6%, inside the paper's range, but that variant depends on the positive rule without the peak (65.3% with the peak rule), excludes real negative cells flagged positive, and was chosen after the result, so the outcome is kept.",

It counts the footprints, computes the field of view, registers the whole movie for its motion, tracks the mouse from the video, decodes its position and direction against shuffled activity, looks at the spread of coactive footprints and at place maps, and tests the bead resolution, field curvature and illumination profiles on measurements in the paper's code repository.

The Methods do not say how bursts are counted in a surrogate. Variants disagree; merging events closer than 1 s leaves the true rate below the surrogates (4.40 to 7.31 against 6.56 to 8.52 per min), and thresholding surrogates at the true trace's own mean + 2 SD puts the true rate far above them (5.30 to 8.71 against at most 0.50 per min). At z = 2.5 the true rate is above the surrogate mean in 2 of 3 recordings and above the 95th percentile in none. On synthetic data with 6 coordinated events per minute, the criterion's test gives 5.6 true bursts per min against a surrogate mean of 34.98, and with independent cells 34.8 against 37.36, so it cannot detect coordination; the fixed-threshold variant separates the two (5.6 against 0.00, 34.8 against 38.37), but its chance level in the data (surrogate means at most 0.10 per min) is far below the paper's.",

For fly_105 the check does not decide (VL 0.274 against 0.234, VR 0.212 against 0.214), so a flip of that fly is not excluded; it would lower the pooled asymmetry.

Keeping only pairs with an approximate c0 of at most 0.3 leaves 332, 121 and 172 pairs (paper 427, 183 and 172) with KS p = 0.003, 0.333 and 0.025; one file per pair of presumed neurons gives 0.003, 0.627 and 0.037.

Per-mouse slopes, a variant, put ChR2 above EYFP (p = 0.015) and Scrambled (p = 0.021) in FR1 but not in RI30. ChR2 mice nosepoke more in RI30 (7.75 against 4.01 and 4.21 per minute). The pooled fit mixes mice with 1 to 13 FR1 sessions, which the per-mouse slopes avoid. A mixed model with a random intercept and slope per mouse puts the FR1 ChR2 slope above ChR2 Scrambled (p = 0.034) and EYFP (p = 0.0075) but not in RI30 (p = 0.68 and 0.70); under that model the rule would give partially_reproduced. That FR1 fit converged only after a retry with lbfgs, warns that the MLE may be on the boundary and has a random intercept variance near zero, and a model with a random intercept only puts ChR2 above neither control (p = 0.46 and 0.33).

With tenfold contiguous cross-validation and the ridge penalty chosen per cell by fivefold cross-validation within each training set, the mean cvR2 over 1,335 cells is -0.041 from female behaviours, -0.005 from male behaviours and -0.004 from both (mouse means -0.026, 0.014 and 0.016), against 0.08, 0.14 and 0.15. The ordering holds, both against male by a margin of 0.0003 over cells and 0.0014 over mouse means, and all three are below 0.25, so the partial rule is met by a thin margin. With the penalty chosen on the last fifth of each training set, the design used in the first two rounds, the means are -0.077, -0.013 and -0.057 (mouse means -0.050, 0.008 and -0.017) and both scores below male, so the ordering failure that gave not_reproduced came from that selection. A model with only an intercept scores -0.086 under the same folds, so the negative values come from the fold design; with the cross-validated penalty the gain over it is 0.045, 0.081 and 0.082 (mouse means 0.054, 0.095 and 0.096), below the paper's values. With the last-fifth penalty, R2 within single folds is dominated by the same offsets (medians -0.61 to -0.71, intercept -0.70). With frames assigned to folds at random, a variant not named in the criterion, the means are 0.229, 0.207 and 0.322, with neighbouring frames in both training and test sets; the value from both behaviours is then above 0.25.

The code repository contains Figure2Regression/Fig2RawData.mat, the paper's own per-mouse R2 (6 x 52); for calcium its single-variable face R2 is above wheel in all 6 mice; if its rows 1 to 4 are grabAM05 to grabAM08 (not established), its wheel R2 for mouse 1 is 0.0246 (calcium) and 0.0014 (ACh), against 0.0253 and 0.0017 here with signed speed and 0.0483 and 0.0031 with |speed|; the other mice are mixed. On this evidence signed speed is the better-supported reading, and under it the claim is reproduced. The outcome should either go back to reproduced with |speed| as the variant, or stay partial with a reason that matches the sources. Compare the per-mouse values with Fig2RawData.mat after confirming its row-to-mouse mapping; this would also give the first external check of the ridgeMML port."

Per-fish medians, and the files at 128 to 171 Hz alone (ZF 84.9, DC 178.6 deg/s2, p = 6.3e-05), give the same. The quantity Fig1-S1.ipynb computes gives ZF higher with p below 0.05/9 for 7 of 9 stimuli; it divides the heading change per frame by the file's mean frame interval, which in DC files is a median 8.73 times the frame interval (ZF 1.37), as DC files hold only trial frames. Part of the DC values may be tracking noise. In the 3 s stationary phase the DC median is 205 deg/s2, higher than the 171 during motion (per fish median ratio 1.24, p = 0.016), but ZF are also higher at rest (66.9 and 60.8, ratio 1.07, p = 0.00012), so this does not separate the species. In frames where the fish is still (below 1 mm/s) DC are higher than ZF (per-fish medians 72.4 and 34.9 deg/s2, Mann-Whitney p = 0.00014), and DC are higher in every speed band (at 5 mm/s or more, 207 and 85.8). The outputs cannot say whether the higher values in moving DC are noise or turning during continuous swimming.

It measures somatic excitability (rheobase and spike counts) and the dendritic excitability index of dSPNs and iSPNs in the LID off- and on-states and under D1R, D2R and M1R antagonists, CDGI deletion and M1R deletion, and evoked ACh release with GRAB-ACh3.0. It links the recordings to the paper's per-cell tables on Zenodo. The Sr2+-oEPSC, ACh and AIM data hold too few cells or mice for most of the paper's tests, and the spine data are raw stacks only.",

A single run cannot tell whether the paper's claim is wrong or its procedure differs. The Methods' literal reading, a 2-tailed t-test against the baseline, is closer to the t-test variant, which also fails (0.46). The response rate at the pseudo onset is 0.044 against 0.37 at the true onset, so about 12% of detected responses are expected to be false.

At a pseudo onset 600 ms before the torque, a threshold crossing in the 200 ms epoch occurs in 0.23 of the 544 monkey V cell-directions with the main detection and 0.46 with the t-test variant; unperturbed trials taken at the usual torque time give 0.19 and 0.44. A response with onset in 20 to 60 ms occurs in 0.048 (pseudo onset) and 0.047 (unperturbed trials), against 0.375 at the true onset, a ratio of 0.13. The paper's threshold implies 0.01; the rates here are about 20 times higher, so the procedure differs from the paper's in a way the Methods do not settle, and this claim and those that rest on the selection are blocked. Stationary Poisson spike trains at each cell-direction's baseline rate give 0.21 (main) and 0.48 (t-test) with the earlier attempt's seed, and 0.16 to 0.19 (main) with eight other seeds, so most of the excess comes from the detection procedure. The rate does not fall with baseline rate (0.18 to 0.29 by quartile) or number of trials (0.21 to 0.26). 14 cell-directions (10 CSN) have a baseline SD of exactly 0 and cannot respond; near-silent cell-directions with a threshold of about 0 can respond (v5801.1, baseline 0.00 spikes/s, an extension response at 30 ms), adding to the false positives. Every spike window lies inside its trial (onsets come at least 2968 ms after the trial start and 1516 ms before its stop), so no window is cut by a trial boundary. A threshold calibrated to a pseudo-onset rate of 0.01 (t = 6.67 against 3.11) finds 30.4% and 32.5% of M1 cells torque-related. Same outcome as 001636-pasquereau-2013-01; its Poisson value (0.15) was one seed, and the spread over seeds added here (0.16 to 0.21) covers it, so the earlier statement that about a third of the observed rate is not explained by Poisson trains is not kept.",

On flight day 9, 12 of 25 Rat1 units (0.48) have spatial information above the 95th percentile of 500 circular-shift shuffles on the Escher staircase (binomial p = 6.9e-10 against 0.05), and 3 of 28 Rat2 units (0.107, p = 0.16). By the criterion Rat1 is above chance but below 0.5 and Rat2 is not above chance, so neither the reproduced nor the partially reproduced rule is met. With spikes at the lost position given a neighbouring position, as in the first version, Rat1 had 13 of 25 (0.52), which gave partially_reproduced. Rat1 FD9 is close to the bound. 6 units have p between 0.01 and 0.1, repeats with 2000 shuffles and five other seeds give 11 or 12 of 25 (0.44 to 0.48), and the run of 200 shuffles in the data check, with the same lookup, gives 13 of 25 (0.52); across these seven runs the count is 11 to 13 of 25, on both sides of 0.5, so the outcome for Rat1 is not robust. The outcome follows the pre-specified run of 500 shuffles, with which the five repeats of 2000 shuffles agree. Rat2 FD9 gives 2 or 3 of 28 in every repeat. Shifted spikes are dropped for lack of a position more often in Rat2's ES epochs (median 0.307 on FD9) than in Rat1's (0.074), but a count-matched variant gives the same counts for Rat2. Rat2's units are not selective with the shared position trace in any window, and Rat1's units are selective in Rat2's FD4 ES epoch (6 of 15), so the trace in Rat2's epochs may not be Rat2's position; the files do not name the animal tracked. On flight day 4, 10 of 20 Rat1 units, 0 of 16 Rat2 units, and 10 of 16 and 1 of 19 Rat3 units in its two ES epochs are significant. In MC epochs 0 to 2 units per session are significant.

     "notes": "On flight day 9, 10 of 25 Rat1 units (0.40) have spatial information above the 95th percentile of 500 circular-shift shuffles on the Escher staircase (binomial p = 1.6e-7 against 0.05), and 2 of 28 Rat2 units (0.071, p = 0.41). By the criterion Rat1 is above chance but below 0.5 and Rat2 is not above chance, so neither the reproduced nor the partially reproduced rule is met. Repeats with 2000 shuffles and five other seeds give 10 or 11 of 25 for Rat1 and 2 of 28 for Rat2, and the run of 200 shuffles in the data check gives 10 and 2; 5 Rat1 units have p between 0.01 and 0.1. The outcome is the same as in 001754-knierim-2000-01, which recorded 12 of 25 for Rat1 (11 to 13 over seven runs); on the earlier version's files the notebook gives 11 or 12 of 25 for Rat1 and 2 or 3 of 28 for Rat2 over five seeds. Every real spike has a sample at its own time in both versions; the draft's trace adds samples at the other rat's spike times in each window, so shifted spikes find a sample more often and the shuffles change. Shifted spikes are now dropped about as often in Rat2's FD9 ES epoch (median 0.058) as in Rat1's (0.060), against 0.306 to 0.307 and 0.074 to 0.075 on the earlier version's files, and a count-matched variant gives 12 of 25 (0.48) for Rat1 and 2 of 28 for Rat2. With each unit's spikes replaced by a Poisson train of the same mean count, 9 of 122 flight ES units are significant (0.074, binomial p = 0.16 against 0.05), and 12 of 125 (0.096, p = 0.023) when each spike is moved to its nearest position sample, which reproduces the real drop rates; per session the false-positive fraction is 0 to 0.21, and in the judged sessions 0.160 and 0.154 for Rat1 and 0.037 and 0.214 for Rat2. Against these fractions Rat1's 10 of 25 is still above chance (p = 0.0035 and 0.0026) and Rat2's 2 of 28 is not (p = 0.28 and 0.99), so the outcome is the same, though the criterion's 0.05 is below the false-positive fraction of some sessions. With each unit's real train reversed in time within its epoch, which keeps its bursts and changes in rate and breaks its relation to the position, 2 of 122 flight ES units are significant (1 of 25 in Rat1's FD9 session, 0 of 27 in Rat2's), and Rat3's ES1 trains against the ES2 trace and the reverse give 0 of 16 and 0 of 19, so with real temporal structure the test is conservative. A unit's 95th percentile of the shuffles is nearly the same for its reversed train (Spearman rho 0.995), 1.7 to 2.3 times that of a Poisson train of the same count per session, and higher the fewer 10 s periods hold its spikes (rho -0.874 with the effective fraction of 10 s bins filled) and the fewer spikes it has (rho -0.601); the two explain 80% of its variance on a log scale. Rat2's FD9 units are the most clumped (median 0.145 of the bins, against 0.190 to 0.358 in the other sessions) and have the highest median 95th percentile (3.572). The test has less power for such units, and its power was not measured, so a low fraction, Rat2's especially, is weak evidence against a spatial code; the criterion's rule decides the outcome. The trace moves as a tracked animal would in Rat2's windows (median step 0.50 pixels and path length 33.0 pixels per second in its FD9 ES window), and units of neither rat are selective in any MC window (0 to 2 of 11 to 32), so neither settles whose position it is. Rat2's units are not selective with the trace in any window (1 of 16 and 2 of 28 in their own ES epochs, 0 of 15 and 0 of 41 in Rat1's), and Rat1's units are selective in Rat2's FD4 ES epoch (10 of 15), so the trace in Rat2's epochs may not be Rat2's position; the files say it is taken to be, and that the source does not name the animal tracked. On flight day 4, 11 of 20 Rat1 units, 1 of 16 Rat2 units, and 11 of 16 and 1 of 19 Rat3 units in its ES1 and ES2 epochs are significant. In MC epochs 0 to 2 units per session are significant.

These numbers and the outcome are the same as in 001754-knierim-2000-01. With smoothing of 0.5 to 2 bins and 50 or 100 spikes the median is 0.315 to 0.707, always above its null (p = 0.001); at 0.5 bins it is below 0.5. The dandiset's ES1 and ES2 rate maps, now linked to the same unit, give a median of 0.340 over 18 units (0.157 in the first attempt, when maps were paired by short names). A unit is the same sorted cluster in both epochs, as the units' description now states; mean rates are related across the epochs (Spearman rho 0.598, re-paired 95th percentile 0.339). In the first epoch 11 of 16 units are significant against shuffles and in the second 1 of 19, with similar occupancy and shuffle drops and more spikes per tested unit in the second (median 455 against 301). For several stable units the 95th percentile of the shuffles rises more than their information in the second epoch (TT4 cluster 1, information against 95th percentile, 2.449 against 1.326 and then 3.592 against 4.305; TT5 cluster 1, 0.910 against 0.504 and then 1.472 against 2.393); the epochs use 348 and 299 bins with 5 or more occupancy counts. Poisson trains give 0 to 2 false positives in either epoch. These units fire fewer spikes in fewer 10 s periods in the second epoch (TT4 cluster 1, 1582 spikes filling an effective 0.267 of the 10 s bins and then 423 filling 0.096; TT5 cluster 1, 8844 at 0.575 and then 2221 at 0.307), which raises the shuffles' 95th percentile (see flight-spatial-code); the stability measure does not use the shuffle test.",

The Anxa1 half links. 120 of 120 traces of Figure 6C and 479 of 480 of Supplementary Figure 7B equal the dandiset's dF/F from 1 s before onset (largest difference among matched traces 5.7e-13 in each), the evoked integrals equal the code's measure times 0.0001 for all Anxa1 records but one, and the transient counts match for 15 of 15 mice. The one miss in each is the last 4 mW stimulation of mouse 4398, whose processed series ends 0.8 s after onset. The Calb1 half does not link; 0 of 384 traces, 0 of 384 integrals and the transient counts of 1 of 12 mice match. dF/F recomputed from the raw signal with the code's processing reproduces the stored Calb1 series (largest difference 1.47 % dF/F) but not the published traces (median differences 66 to 519 % dF/F; 22 to 88 at the best background fraction per mouse). The published spontaneous values are 0.005 times the mean dF/F over each transient (ratio 0.004994 to 0.004999), so part (4) as fixed, with integrals, matches for no mouse; with the transient mean it matches for 13 of 27 mice within 1% (Anxa1 13 of 15; 4398 and 4007 each fail by one sorted value, 1.03% and 1.67%), and for none within the 1e-4 of part (3); integrals match for none at either tolerance. The four parts match for 1.0, 0.609, 0.609 and 0 of their records (0.481 with the transient mean), so the outcome is not reproduced under either measure. The Calb1 mismatch is not one of epoch or power labels; searched over all 64 epochs and 8 powers of each mouse, no epoch is within 1e-6 of any of the 384 S8D traces (closest 15.7 to 150.8 % dF/F), and against the matched epochs the per-mouse median slopes are 0.21 to 0.75 and offsets -13.8 to 16.2 % dF/F. The Figure 6E integrals match the 0.5 mW epochs (120 of 120) and none of the 4 mW ones. The published values reproduce the paper's statistics (Figure 6E p = 1.1e-20, Cohen's d 2.06 and 0.765), so the Calb1 differences come from the data, not from the paper's computation on them.",

The one miss in each is the last 4 mW stimulation of mouse 4398, whose processed series ends 0.8 s after onset. The Calb1 half does not link; 0 of 384 traces, 0 of 384 integrals and the transient counts of 1 of 12 mice match. dF/F recomputed from the raw signal with the code's processing reproduces the stored Calb1 series (largest difference 1.47 % dF/F) but not the published traces (median differences 66 to 519 % dF/F; 22 to 88 at the best background fraction per mouse). The published spontaneous values are 0.005 times the trapezoid integral of each transient divided by its number of samples (within-mouse spread of the ratio at most 2.2e-15; 15 of 15 Anxa1 mice and 0 of 12 Calb1 mice match at 1e-4), so part (4) as fixed, with integrals, matches for no mouse at either tolerance. The four parts match for 1.0, 0.609, 0.609 and 0 of their records, so the outcome is not reproduced. With the published measure in part (4) they match for 1.0, 0.609, 0.609 and 0.556, which would be partially reproduced; the criterion fixed integrals, so this is a variant. The mean dF/F over each transient comes close (13 of 15 Anxa1 mice within 1%, none within 1e-4). The Calb1 mismatch is not one of epoch or power labels; searched over all 64 epochs and 8 powers of each mouse, no epoch is within 1e-6 of any of the 384 S8D traces (closest 15.7 to 150.8 % dF/F), and against the matched epochs the per-mouse median slopes are 0.21 to 0.75 and offsets -13.8 to 16.2 % dF/F. The Figure 6E integrals match the 0.5 mW epochs (120 of 120) and none of the 4 mW ones. The published values reproduce the paper's statistics (Figure 6E p = 1.1e-20, Figure 6F p = 2.75e-177, Cohen's d 2.06 and 0.765), so the Calb1 differences come from the data, not from the paper's computation on them.",

The RAB3 T86 peptide passes (p = 0.00892) but is lower with vehicle (difference -1.31), so neither part of the criterion holds. Centring each sample on its median, a step the criterion did not fix, gives 243 and 282 peptides (282 within tolerance) and RAB3 T86 still higher with MLi-2 (difference -0.693, p = 0.0238). The paper's volcano table holds MLi-2 minus vehicle as the samples are labelled; on the 4340 peptides with all six values its difference equals that difference plus a constant to within 1.6e-06, and against vehicle minus MLi-2 the residual reaches 13. Its p-values are near those of a t-test on median-centred values but not equal (median gap in -log10 p 0.0088 Welch, 0.0161 Student). It gives 254 peptides at the legend's thresholds, and RAB3 T86 +0.688, which the legend reads as higher with vehicle. As the samples are labelled, the RAB3 T86 phosphopeptide rises after MLi-2. RAB10 T73 does not change (0.15, p = 0.775), so the data cannot tell whether the labels or the figure's direction are swapped. If the labels are swapped, the median-centred reading b gives 282 peptides and RAB3 T86 higher with vehicle (+0.693), which would reproduce the claim, so the outcome rests on a labelling question the data cannot answer.

No ISI is under 1 ms (9 of 101732 under 2 ms), and the mean waveform's trough of -56.4 \u00b5V is 4.79 times the SD across spikes at that sample. Neither part could easily fail. The shortest ISI, 1.562 ms, just exceeds the 48-sample (1.50 ms) waveform, so the detector's dead time excludes ISIs under 1 ms, and every one of the 101733 spikes exceeds the 40 \u00b5V threshold (smallest peak 40.3 \u00b5V), which nearly forces the trough above twice the SD. Above the dead time, ISIs per ms at 1.56 to 3 ms are 0.106 times those at 10 to 30 ms (Plexon unit 0.204), which fits a refractory period in most spikes but does not rule out other units.
