Fig. 4 — a Change in mean firing rate in MGBv during low-contrast (top, blue) and high-contrast (bottom, red) DRC stimulation following optogenetic cortical silencing. b Change in standard deviation (SD) of firing rate in MGBv during low-contrast (top) and high-contrast (bottom) DRC stimulation following optogenetic cortical silencing. Light shaded areas in a and b indicate units that were not significantly modulated by cortical silencing, while dark areas represent units that were affected by cortical silencing (p < 0.05, t-test). c Example STRF (example is marked with black circle in panels d–i) of an MGBv unit with auditory cortical activity intact (top), or auditory cortex optogenetically silenced (bottom) (red: positive, white: 0, blue: negative). d Comparison of the best frequency (BF), i.e., the largest value of the spectral kernel of the STRF, of MGBv units between recordings made with auditory cortical activity intact (ACx On) or optogenetically silenced (ACx Off). e Frequency bandwidth (fBW), i.e., the full-width half-maximum (in octaves) around the BF, of MGBv units with and without cortical silencing. f Value of the maximum weight of the STRF of MGBv units with and without cortical silencing. g Temporal bandwidth (tBW), i.e., the full-width half-maximum (in ms) around the largest value of the temporal kernel of the STRF, of MGBv units with and without cortical silencing. h The ratio between noise and signal power (NP/SP) in the MGBv with and without cortical silencing. i Linear model prediction performance within contrast (cross-validated correlation between predicted and actual responses) in the MGBv with and without cortical silencing. Color of points in d–i denotes the prediction strength (correlation coefficient) of the model on a cross-validated dataset. Black dots are units excluded from analysis, according to exclusion criteria described in the Methods. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
