Prefrontal cortical neuron firing patterns can predict competition winners regardless of trial outcome.

“prefrontal cortical neurons you could represent very stably and decode which animal was dominant um flat regardless of the trial and then when you looked at whether we could decode competitive success meaning who is going to win that next trial so there's a new trial every 30 or 40 seconds and so but 30 seconds before which is as far as we can measure because then we're like kind of into the previous trial as soon as the last trial ends even before the next trial ends You can predict above chance significantly which animal is going to win the next trial just based on the firing pattern of prefrontal cortical”
