Figure Lengend Snippet: ( a ) Identified fluorophores for injection paradigm A. Viral injection paradigm A consisted of mTagBFP2 into the dorsal periaqueductal gray (dPAG), mTurquoise2 into the basolateral amygdala (BLA), T-Sapphire into the claustrum (Cla), mVenus into the nucleus accumbens (NAc), mOrange2 into the striatum (Str), mScarlet into the locus coeruleus (LC), FusionRed into the ventral tegmental area (VTA), mCyRFP1 into the lateral habenula (LHb), and mNeptune2.5 into the contralateral prefrontal cortex (c-mPFC) (left). Spatial distribution of ROIs and respective fluorophore matches overlaid on anatomical images from the same mouse (right). Distribution of identified fluorophores per mouse (inset). ( b ) Identified fluorophores for injection paradigm B. Viral injection paradigm B consisted of mTagBFP2 into the c-mPFC, mTurquoise2 into the LHyp, T-Sapphire into the Str, mVenus into the VTA, mOrange2 into the LC, mScarlet into the dPAG, FusionRed into the BLA, mCyRFP1 into the NAc, and mNeptune2.5 into the Cla (left). Spatial distribution of ROIs and respective fluorophore assignments overlaid on the anatomical image from the same mouse (right). Distribution of identified fluorophores per mouse (inset). Color and letter codes for fluorophores and injection regions, respectively (far right). ( c ) Percentage of identified ROIs with a fluorophore match. Animal n=5; ROI n=1,327. ( d ) Percent of cells identified for each fluorophore. Letter insets on individual data points correspond to injected regions. N=1072. One-way ANOVA p =0.0071. ( e ) Percent of cells identified for each injected region. Number insets on individual data points correspond to injected fluorophore. N=1072. Mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA, p =0.2599. Scale bars: 100 µm.
Article Snippet: To determine the accuracy and robustness of our fluorophore identification algorithm component of Neuroplex, we validated the algorithm using a series of simulated datasets based on real spectral fingerprints.
