Figure Lengend Snippet: Light stimulation was applied to Qrfp-iCre mouse expressing hOPN4dC-mCherry in the AVPe via an optic fiber (3 μW from the fiber tip, 473-nm, 6 h from time 0). Heart rate and core body temperature are also simultaneously taken by telemetry sensors. Video plays at 60x speed. Images in Figure 1D are created from this video.
Article Snippet: Stimulating light for hOPN4s and excitation light for fluorescence were the same (480 nm, 500 ms, every 2 s), as described in a previous study., For bioluminescence-based Ca2+ recording, cells were transfected with the expression constructs pEF1a-hOPN4s-mCherry and pcDNA3-Nano-lantern(Ca2+)_600 (Addgene, #51982 ).
