Fig. 4. Functional and anatomical properties of ANs that encode resting or responses to puffs.

Fig. 4

a,g, Top left: two-photon image of axons from an SS27485-Gal4 (a) or an SS36112-Gal4 (g) animal expressing OpGCaMP6f (cyan) and tdTomato (red). ROIs are numbered. Scale bars, 5 μm. Bottom: behavioral epochs are color-coded. Representative ΔF/F time series from two ROIs (green) overlaid with a prediction (black) obtained by convolving resting epochs (a) or puff stimuli (g) with Ca2+ indicator response functions. Explained variances are indicated (R2). b,h, Mean (solid line) and 95% confidence interval (gray shading) of ΔF/F traces for rest ANs (b) or puff-responsive ANs (h) during epochs of forward walking (left), resting (middle) or CO2 puffs (right). 0 s indicates the start of each epoch. Data more than 0.7 s after onset (yellow region) are compared with an Otsu thresholded baseline (one-way ANOVA and two-sided Tukey post hoc comparison, ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, NS, not significant). c,i, Standard deviation projection image of an SS27485-Gal4 (c) or an SS36112-Gal4 (i) nervous system expressing smFP and stained for GFP (green) and Nc82 (blue). Cell bodies are indicated (white asterisk). Scale bars, 40 μm. d,j, Projection as in c and i but for one MCFO-expressing, traced neuron (black asterisk). The brain’s AVLP (cyan) and the VNC’s leg neuromeres (yellow) are color-coded. Scale bars, 40 μm. e,f,k,l, Higher magnification projections of brains (top) and VNCs (bottom) from SS27485-Gal4 (e,f) or SS36112-Gal4 (k,l) animals expressing the stochastic label MCFO (e,k) or the synaptic marker, syt:GFP (green) and tdTomato (red) (f,l). Insets magnify dashed boxes. Indicated are cell bodies (asterisks), bouton-like structures (white arrowheads) and VNC leg neuromeres (T1, T2 and T3). Scale bars for brain images and insets are 5 μm (e) or 10 μm (k) and 2 μm for insets. Scale bars for VNC images and insets are 20 μm and 10 μm, respectively.
