Fig. 9. Cross-neuron plasticity increases larval locomotion speed.
a Representative crawling traces. b Quantification of crawling speed. Control, t(84) = 3.107, p = 0.0026, unpaired t test, two-tailed. drprΔ5, t(52) = 1.991, p = 0.0517, unpaired t test, two-tailed. c Quantification of turn frequency. Control, t(72.67) = 4.518, p < 0.0001, unpaired t test, two-tailed, with Welch’s correction. drprΔ5, t(51) = 2.493, p = 0.0160, unpaired t test, two-tailed. For (b, c), N (larvae) = 45, 47, 27, 27. d Schematic of heat induced roll behavior difference in control and Is ablated larvae. Cartoon is generated with Biorender. e Quantification of the number of rolls of control and Is ablated larvae. t(16.59) = 3.647, p = 0.0021, unpaired t test, two-tailed, with Welch’s correction. N (larvae) = 12, 12. Error bars indicate ± SEM, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001.
