Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Schematic of retrograde injection and patching strategy for assessing silencing of CLA RSP terminals in cortex. ( B ) Example average voltage clamp electrophysiology from RSP neurons in mice injected with PBS and AAV-ChrimsonR-tdTomato (top, n=33 cells) or AAV-FLEX-TetTox and ChrimsonR (bottom, n=16 cells, 2 mice), aligned to light onset. ( C , left) Quantification of normalized PSC magnitude in RSP neurons in Tet+ (red) and PBS (gray) conditions. (Right) Percent of neurons in each injection condition showing EPSCs in response to CLA RSP axon photostimulation. ( D ) Experimental pipeline for behavioral experiments, beginning with injection and finishing with histological verification. Plots shaded blue correspond to the reversal learning task, while plots shaded orange correspond to the multimodal conditioning task. ( E ) Average probability of poking the high reward probability port in the trials before and after the transition to a new block (trial 0). Dashed lines indicate chance performance and block transition (two-way repeated measures ANOVA, effect of group F(1,25) = 0.413, p=0.526). ( F ) Loading of logistic regression predictors based on data from the final five sessions (Welch’s t-test for previous choice p=0.482, previous outcome p=0.539, and interaction p=0.581). In the multimodal conditioning task, two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the latency from stimulus onset until the first poke, regardless of which port was poked, on hit ( G ; F(1,26) = 6.252, p=0.019) and miss ( H ; F(1,26) = 3.527, p=0.072) trials. ( I ) Percentage of trials classified as hits for each trial type (two-way repeated measures ANOVA, effect of group F(1,26) = 0.056, p=0.814). Dashed line indicates chance performance of 33%. ( J ) d' values calculated separately for each stimulus type. Multimodal conditioning plots include data from experienced mice only (training sessions after day 3). Data from sham mice (n=12) are plotted in black, and TetTox mice (n=16) are plotted in red. Error bars show the standard error of the mean. Symbols indicate an effect of treatment where p≤0.1 (#), p≤0.05 (*), or p≤0.001 (***).
