Experimental details. A, Schematic of the lentiviral construct. B, Experimental timeline. Experiments began when haloperidol (0.03–0.07 mg/kg, s.c.) or saline was injected. Reaching was recorded before (pre-stim), during (stim), and after (stim off or post-stim) light stimulation. Statistical comparisons were made of reaching performance during gray shaded periods (a–c). C, Example stimulation trains. Top, TBS. Middle, bottom, Segments from neuronal spike times recorded in a control rat during reaching (pReP) or open field exploration (pExP). Calibration: 1 s.
