Figure Lengend Snippet: A Schematic of closed-loop optogenetic inhibition. B Representative EMG traces, EEG power spectrum and LFP. Enlarged view shows LFP (gray), filtered LFP in theta band (Cyan: eYFP group; magenta: ArchT group). Ampl. amplitude, Freq. frequency, Light stim. light stimulation. C Theta power-delta phase coupling. M.I. modulation index, Pref. phase preferred phase. D Modulation index (left, Mann–Whitney rank-sum test, eYFP: n = 44, ArchT: n = 42, U = 364, P = 1.00 × 10 −6 ) and phase (right, Welch’s t test, eYFP: n = 44, ArchT: n = 42, t 69.535 = 4.320, P = 5.08 × 10 −5 ) of theta-delta wave coupling. E Reactivation strength of the eYFP and ArchT group. F Boxplots showing reactivation strength during NREM sleep. Boxplots represent median plus minima and maxima with lower and upper quantiles; whiskers, one and a half times of interquartile range; points, outliers (Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA on ranks, H = 21.403, P = 8.7 × 10 −5 ; Day 1: eYFP: n = 27, ArchT: n = 38, H = 3.004, P = 0.016; Day 2: eYFP: n = 28, ArchT: n = 49, H = 3.189, P = 0.008). G Same as F but for post-training wakefulness (Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA on ranks, H = 1.653, P = 0.647; Day 1: eYFP: n = 27, ArchT: n = 38, Day 2: eYFP: n = 28, ArchT: n = 49). H Representative trajectories in eYFP and ArchT group. I Distance traveled in the maze (Two-way Repeated Measures ANOVA following post hoc Fisher LSD Method, eYFP: n = 9 mice, ArchT: n = 8 mice. eYFP vs. ArchT, F 1,15 = 5.706, P = 0.030; days factor, F 2, 30 = 8.284, P = 0.001; interaction, F 2, 30 = 0.720, P = 0.495). J Cyan circles or magenta blocks represent average number of errors of eYFP ( n = 9 mice) or ArchT group ( n = 8 mice). Trend lines are the least-square fits to the data. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
