Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic of injection for labelling of V1 somas with jRGECO1a and RSC→V1 axons with jGCaMP8s and two-photon recording. (B) Example field of view showing RSC axons in layer 1 of V1 labelled with jGCaMP8s and layer 2/3 somas labelled with jRGECO1a. (C) Example spatial responses (average traces plotted over heatmap) for three visually responsive boutons (left) and 3 retinotopically aligned V1 somas (right). (D) Heat plot showing distribution of difference in tuning of all RSC→V1 boutons relative to local V1 neurons in azimuth and elevation. (E) Responses of each RSC→V1 bouton to expanding versus contracting stimulus. (F) Data from D divided into binocular and monocular areas of the V1 retinotopic map showing nasal offset of RSC→V1 bouton positional tuning relative to V1 tuning in monocular area. (G) Distribution of ΔV1-RSC bouton positional preference showing offset is specific to monocular visual space. For V1 soma recordings, n = 827 neurons from 9 experiments in 6 mice. For RSC→V1 bouton recordings, n = 1467 boutons from 9 experiments in the same 6 mice used for soma recordings.
Article Snippet: After the brain was exposed, an AAV was injected at a depth of 400μm to drive expression of jGCaMP8s (pAAV-hSynapsin1-axon-jGCaMP8s-P2A-mRuby3, Addgene plasmid #172921, 5 × 10 12 GC per millilitre titre, volume 100 nL).
