Bottom, The viral genome contained insert gene coding for ChR2(H134R) fused to eYFP. Black and grey triangles indicate lox2272 and loxP sites. B Fluorescence image of a coronal section from an Emx1-Cre mouse brain showing expression of ChR2(H134R)-eYFP 12 weeks after AAV PHP.eB injection. The neocortex, hippocampus and white matter structures display high fluorescence. The whisker-associated primary somatosensory cortex (wS1) and the internal capsule (IC) are outlined in white boxes (see higher magnification in & ). RS: retro-splenial cortex; DG: dentate gyrus; CA2: subregion of the Cornus Ammonis (CA) in the hippocampus; M1: primary motor cortex; M2: secondary motor cortex; trS1: trunk region of S1. C Left , Section adjacent to the section displayed in panel B and treated with cytochrome C oxidase. Top right , Higher magnification image of wS1. The arrows show three barrels stained in layer 4. Bottom right , Corresponding fluorescence image of wS1 from the section displayed in panel B (white box 1). Arrows indicate low-density spots located in the regions corresponding to the barrels. Thick vertical fiber bundles cross all layers of wS1. D Inset, Fluorescence image of a tangential cortical section of an Emx1-Cre mouse brain 52 weeks after injection, centered on wS1 layer 4. Higher magnification shows low fluorescence in the barrels compared to septa. E Left , Fluorescence image of a coronal section of an Emx1-Cre x Ai32 mouse brain including the wS1 area. Right , Higher magnification shows high fluorescence in the barrels. F Same as D for an Emx1-Cre x Ai32 mouse brain. The higher magnification image shows high fluorescence in the barrels compared to septa. G Schematic of the three main hypotheses explaining the presence/absence of fluorescence in the neuropil of layer 4 in Emx1-Cre mice. The entities expressing or not the transgene could be: (1) thalamo-cortical neurons projections to L4; (2) projections of other neurons from the same column to the L4; (3) neurites of intra-barrel neurons. H,I Left , Transgene fluorescence (green) and NeuN immunostaining (red) from a tangential cortical section including layer 4 of wS1 from an Emx1-Cre mouse injected with PHP.eB mouse brain ( H ) and from an Emx1-Cre x Ai32 mouse ( I ). Middle , neuronal nuclei revealed by NeuN staining show a slightly higher concentration of somas at the barrel walls. Z-projection of 5 scan sections representing a total thickness of 20 µm. An example barrel is outlined in white. Right , Z-projection of transgene eYFP fluorescence from the same sections. wS1 barrels display low fluorescence in Emx1-Cre mouse injected with PHP.eB ( H ) and high fluorescence in Emx1-Cre x Ai32 mouse ( I ). Note that in panel F, the sparse bright eYFP spots do not colocalize with somatic NeuN spots, suggesting they are due to neuropil bundles (see also ). J Schematic representation of the estimated transgene expression level in the membranes of neurites and somata across cortical layers using the PHP.eB viral strategy ( Top ) and the transgenic mouse line strategy ( Bottom ).

Figure Lengend Snippet: A Left Fluorescence image of a sagittal section from an Emx1-Cre mouse brain showing expression of ChR2(H134R)-eYFP 4 weeks after AAV PHP.eB injection. The neocortex, hippocampus and white matter structures are regions of high fluorescence. The frontal pole (3) and the hippocampus (4) are outlined in white boxes. As expected with the Emx1 dependency, no fluorescence was observed in the cerebellum (delineated in white). Cerebellar peduncles display a high level of fluorescence as they convey cortico-cerebellar projections. AC: Anterior commissure; CbP: cerebellar peduncles. Middle Higher magnification of inset 3. Cortical layers are delimited, layer 5 displays the highest fluorescence level. L: layer; CC: corpus callosum. Right Higher magnification of inset 4. Among subregions of the Cornus Ammonis (CA), CA2 displays the highest fluorescence level. Fluorescence drops sharply at its boundaries. DG: Dentate gyrus. B Fluorescence image of the transgene superimposed with DAPI staining of a coronal section through the dentate gyrus from an Emx1-Cre mouse brain 4 weeks after AAV PHP.eB injection. Nuclei are densely packed in the granule cell layer and do not co-localize with the transgene. This illustrates that most of the fluorescence from the transgene comes from the neurites and that the opsin is expressed at the neuronal membrane. C Left Fluorescence image of a coronal section through the internal capsule from an Emx1-Cre mouse brain 12 weeks after AAV PHP.eB injection. Higher magnification of inset 2 from . The internal capsule is a pure white matter structure (only axons). Several bundles of fluorescent axons are visible. Right Higher magnification of the inset 5 showing the axon-like morphology of the fluorescent fibers. D Fluorescence image of a coronal section from an Emx1-Cre mouse brain showing expression of ChR2(H134R)-eYFP 12 weeks after AAV PHP.eB injection. As expected, no fluorescence is observed from the midbrain, the hindbrain and the cerebellum due to the Emx1 dependency. Pyramids are fluorescent since they contain cortical axons projecting down to the medulla. IC: Inferior colliculus; Cb: Cerebellum; V4: fourth ventricle; Pyr: Pyramids. E Fluorescence image of a sagittal section from an Emx1-Cre x Ai32 mouse brain. In agreement with , the whole neocortex is fluorescent and the barrels are brighter than the neighboring layers. S1: primary somatosensory cortex; ulS1: upper limb S1; wS1: whisker S1; Vis. & V1: Visual areas and primary visual cortex. F Fluorescence image of a coronal section from a Scnn1a-Cre mouse brain 7 weeks after PHP.eB injection. Layer 4 of the PPC and auditory areas also show the highest fluorescence among their cortical layers. RSP: retro-splenial cortex; PPC: posterior parietal cortex; A1/AUD: primary auditory cortex and auditory areas. G,H Transgene fluorescence (green) and NeuN immunostaining (red) from a tangential cortical section including layer 4 of wS1 from an Emx1-Cre x Ai32 mouse brain ( G ) and from an Emx1-Cre mouse injected with PHP.eB ( H ). These images are higher magnifications of images in . Neuronal nuclei are circled ( Left ) and match with low-fluorescence areas of the eYFP pattern ( Right ), illustrating that the transgene is expressed at the neuronal membrane and not in the cytoplasm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A Top Fluorescence image of a coronal section from two Emx1-Cre mouse brains showing expression of GCamP8m 4 weeks after AAV PHP.eB injection. Apart from the gene of interest (coding for GCamP8m and not ChR2-H134R) the construct is the same as before: Cre dependency and CAG promoter. Part of the whisker S1 area (wS1) is outlined a white box. llS1: lower limb S1; ulS1: upper limb S1; trS1: trunk S1. Bottom Higher magnification of the insets. Fluorescent somas are mostly located in layers 2/3 (L2/3) and layer 5 (L5). Neurons of layer 5 appear brighter than neurons of layer 2/3, probably because of their larger cytoplasm and consequently the higher amount of GCamP8m. There is almost no visible fluorescent soma in layer 4. The background noise and autofluorescence on the right image (mouse n°13) are probably due to the fact that the mouse has not been perfused.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A Left , Schematics of the setup. An Emx1-Cre mouse injected with AAV PhP.eB particles was head-fixed under anaesthesia. A 32-channel silicon probe was inserted below the cranial window through a small opening. We recorded neuronal activity while projecting light spots with a digital projector (DLP) through the intact part of the window. Fifteen different spots were projected in pseudo-random sequences, according to a 3×5 stimulation matrix centered above the inserted probe. Right , image of the cranial window with the electrode penetrating the cortex from the side. A sketch of the light spots and of the electrode shank are overlaid. B Mean firing rates of all 5 single units before and during the photostimulation protocol (not specifically after a given spot projection). All units showed an increased activity (Wilcoxon test, * p < 0.05). C Raster plots of action potentials for one single unit, centered on the beginning of the first flash of spot 1 (Top) and spot 11 (Bottom). Four to five phase-locked peaks of response were observed in response to spot 11 while spot 1 didn’t trigger any activity. D Average increase in the number of action potentials per second during the 80 ms following a light spot onset compared to the baseline period activity, for each of the 15 light spots. Same neuron as panel C. E Detection task. Scnn1a-Cre mice injected with AAV.PHP.eB (carrying the gene coding for ChR2-H134R) or control mice were head-fixated under the same DLP system as in A. Mice were awake and water-restricted. For each trial, an optogenetic spot (300 µm diameter) was projected onto the window, either targeting the C2 barrel or targeting the dental cement (sham catch trial). The mouse had to lick a spout to obtain a water reward in the two seconds following the stimulus start. A masking blue light was directed towards the eyes to mask the projection of spots. F Timeline of a single trial. Each trial started with a No Lick Period of random duration (between 3 and 5 s). This period was reset by each lick to force the mice to stop licking and focus on detecting the stimulation. Then, the stimulus was projected during 500 ms: 50 flashes of 5 ms separated by 5 ms (same duty cycle as in ). The trials in which the spot was projected onto the cement accounted for 10% of the total, with one catch trial randomly placed per group of 10 trials. From the first flash, the mouse had 2 seconds to lick the spout twice in order to receive a reward (Reaction period). Licks to both cortical and cement spots were rewarded by a water droplet. Finally, an intertrial period (6 to 8 s long) allowed the mouse to drink its reward before the start of the next trial. G Licking activity for the Scnn1a-Cre mouse injected with the virus (“only L4”) during session 9 of the detection task. Top , Raster plots of licks during all trials of the session. The type of trial (spot onto cortex or cement) is shown by a colored tick on the left (cortex black, cement red) and by the matching color of the licks. Bottom , Mean lick distribution computed over all trials of the session, for trials in which the light spot was projected onto the cortex (black) or cement (red). Time 0 corresponds to the beginning of the first optogenetic flash.

Figure Lengend Snippet: A Top, Detection task, same as . Bottom , Rationale of the task design. We wanted to figure out if the detection of the optogenetic flash was due to the activity it induced or by sensing it in any other way. By rewarding both spots, the mouse had every reason to lick as soon as it detected a spot, whether optogenetically or visually. Thus, the absence of licking for the spot on the cement indicates that it was not detected. B Licking activity for the Scnn1a-Cre mouse injected with the virus (“only L4”) during session 9 of the detection task. Top, Middle Same as . Bottom, For each trial, we quantified the delay for ‘lick onset’ as the time of the first lick after the start of stimulation (reaction time). The mean lick onset distribution was computed over all trials of the session, same color convention as in . The distribution of lick onset delays showed a single narrow peak (mean +/- s.d. = 689 +/- 189 ms). As the duration of the No Lick Period was random, this fixed reaction time to the stimulation further indicated that the mouse was indeed guided by the cue and not exploiting a timing strategy. C Left, Same representations as in B for a Scnn1a-Cre control mouse (no virus injected) during session 9 of the detection task. Left Top , Raster plots of licks. Left Middle, The lick distributions for both spots, through the window and on the cement, were similar, suggesting that there was no activation of neurons or retinal photoreceptors by light from the projector entering through the cranial window. Left Bottom, The distribution of lick onsets was not concentrated around one reaction time but as very broad (mean +/- s.d. = 540 +/- 455 ms), suggesting random initiation of licking bursts after the necessary still No-lick period. See also panel D. Right, Same analysis as Left for session 10 in the same control mouse, during which a spot was presented on wS1 or no stimulation was presented (no light or any cue at all) (purple curve and ticks). Top and Middle, In the absence of any stimulation, the animal still licked in the same way as it did for the spot on the cortex. Bottom, Reaction times to both spots were also similar. Overall, this suggests that the apparent detection of both spots by the control mouse was merely the effect of recurrent and sustained licking, i.e., a timing strategy that the mouse developed to take advantage of the temporal structure of the task. Due to technical issues, two consecutive partial sessions were run and pooled for each of sessions 9 ( Left ) and 10 ( Right ) of the control mouse. D Distributions of trial durations during session 9 for the virus-injected (green) and the control mice (orange). The duration of a trial was computed as the time spent in the No Lick Period (including all the resets) and the reaction period. The best theoretical mean trial duration (without any reset of the No Lick Period) would be 6 s. Arrows indicate the mean trial duration. Trial durations were much longer for the control mouse (up to 98 s, mean +/- s.d. = 25.6 +/-20.0 s) compared to the PhP.eB injected mouse (mean +/- s.d. = 6.6 +/- 1.7 s), mostly because of repeated resetting of the No Lick period. This difference confirmed the use of a timing strategy in the absence of opsin expression.

The normalized rewarded trial percentage is obtained by subtracting the chance level (see Methods). For the three mouse groups, the raw learning curves have similar shapes and dynamics to the corresponding normalized ones. The “Last” session differs between groups. For the group Emx1-Cre + virus, 2 mice were trained up to day 10 and three up to day 15. Scnn1a-Cre + virus mice were trained up to day 15 and 19. For the Emx1-Cre x Ai27 group, five mice were trained up to day 5, two mice up to day 7 and one up to day 10. Curves on the right are the same as but truncated.

doi: 10.1093/hmg/ddag021

Figure Lengend Snippet: AAV9-CAG-hSLC9A6 AAV increased cerebellar NHE6 and CALB1 abundances determined by western blotting and decreased motor ataxia. (A-D) Mirroring findings with PHP.eB-L7-Slc9a6-GFP AAV, administration of AAV9-CAG-hSLC9A6 AAV at ~ 5 weeks of age minimally increased NHE6 expression (A, C), but this minimal increase led to proportionally greater increases in CALB1 expression (B, D). (E) AAV9-CAG-hSLC9A6 AAV administration at 5 weeks of age significantly improved motor ataxia at 14 weeks of age compared to 7 untreated shaker rats (5 administered a control AAV and 2 uninjected). (F) Rats treated with AAV9-CAG-hSLC9A6 trended towards a decrease in tremor at 14 weeks of age, albeit with substantial variability. Note that each data point is an individual rat, and all n-values for statistics are calculated as number of rats, not technical replicates.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Following AAV9-CAG-hSLC9A6 AAV administration, ataxia, NHE6, and CALB1, are interrelated, but NHE6 and CALB1 are not correlated with tremor at 14 weeks of age. (A) NHE6 abundance following viral administration of AAV9-CAG-hSLC9A6 AAV positively correlates with CALB1 expression, suggesting a rescue of Purkinje cells. (B) NHE6 abundance is likewise negatively correlated with gait ataxia. (C) CALB1 is highly negatively correlated with gait ataxia. (D-E) While NHE6 and CALB1 abundance were correlated with ataxia and ataxia is correlated with tremor, NHE6 and CALB1 are not significantly correlated with tremor. Grey shaded regions represents 95% confidence intervals.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) In the context of AAV9-CAG-hSLC9A6 AAV experiments, ataxia is strongly correlated with tremor at 14 weeks. (B-C) In the context of PHP.eB-Slc9a6-GFP AAV experiments, the correlation between peak tremor and late-stage ataxia is stronger than the correlation between tremor and ataxia at any given timepoint. (B) Ataxia and tremor are initially strongly related following symptom onset, but this correlation significantly decreases over time. (C) Peak tremor occurred prior to 20 weeks in all but 2 animals; however, the correlation between peak ataxia and late-stage ataxia (21–25 weeks) was higher than the correlation between tremor and ataxia at any individual timepoint. (D) Endpoint NHE6 expression and ataxia were negatively correlated at all timepoints. This negative correlation became stronger over time. (E) NHE6 and tremor were negatively correlated at all timepoints; however, the correlation between NHE6 and tremor did not strengthen over time. Grey shaded regions represents 95% confidence intervals.
