Optogenetic activation of pyramidal neurons in the neonatal PFC by different patterns of light stimulation in vivo. (Ai) Representative raster plot and spike probability histogram displaying the firing of ChR2(ET/TC) transfected layer II/III pyramidal neurons in response to 30 sweeps of repetitive light pulses (473 nm, 3 ms, 14 mW/mm2) at 8 Hz recorded from a neonatal mouse after IUE at E15.5. (ii) Corresponding inter-spike interval (ISI) histogram averaged for 3 s before light stimulation (pre, black), 3 s during ramp stimulation (stimulation, blue), and 3 s after light stimulation (post, gray). (B) Same as (Ai) for an opsin-free control animal. (Ci,ii,D) Same as (Ai,ii,B) for sinusoidal light stimulation. (Ei,ii,F) Same as (Ai,ii,B) for ramp light stimulation.
