Figure 5. Responses of LP and dLGN boutons to eye movements.

Figure 5

(a) Schematic of the virtual reality setup. (b) Calcium trace and inferred firing rate of an example bouton aligned to horizontal pupil position of the contralateral eye. Top left: images of the eye taken before and after a saccade. Red dashed lines indicate occurrences of saccades. Pupil position and inferred firing rate in arbitrary units. (c) Left: average traces of inferred firing rate (a.u.) of LP and dLGN boutons showing significantly increased activity in response to a saccade, aligned to saccade onset (dashed line) in the virtual environment (VR) and in the dark. Right: mean fraction of LP and dLGN boutons significantly modulated by saccades. Error bars are s.e.m. *, p < 0.05, Wilcoxon rank-sum test. VR dLGN, n = 21 sessions ; VR LP, n = 31 sessions; Dark dLGN, n = 21 sessions; Dark LP, n = 30 sessions; LP, 10 mice; dLGN: 8 mice.
