Figure 3. Activity-regulated genes enriched in Arc-dVenus+ neurons.

Figure 3

(A) Venn diagram showing overlap between Arc-dVenus-enriched genes, genes regulated by activity in vitro12, visual stimulus-regulated genes13, and genes enriched in Fos+ hippocampal neurons29. Arc-dVenus-enriched genes are defined by FDR <0.05 and fold-enrichment of >2 in Arc-dVenus+ neurons (n = 5) compared to bulk-tissue controls (n = 3). (B) Heatmap of expression in Arc-dVenus+ neurons and bulk-tissue for genes that are both Arc-dVenus-enriched and activity- or visual stimulus-regulated. Each gene’s expression is normalized to its mean across the three bulk-tissue samples. (C,D) The expected versus actual numbers of Arc-dVenus-enriched genes that are also visual stimulus-induced (C) or activity-induced (D) (p < 10−20, hypergeometric tests). Distributions of expected numbers from the hypergeometric distribution are in black; actual numbers are in red.
