Fig. 3

Flash visually evoked potentials (fVEP) of the visual cortex contralateral to the eyes in response to flashes of various intensities. MMEJ indicates eyes treated with Gnat1 mutation replacement (N = 9) and OE (over-expression) indicates those with Gnat1 gene supplementation (N = 6), both delivered by single AAV. NoTx refers to untreated eyes (N = 9). Control Pde6ccpfl1/cpfl1 mice (N = 5). Note, light sensitivity as defined in the Methods was increased by ~4 log unit after MMEJ-mediated genome editing, which was not significantly different to the effect mediated by OE (right lower panel). b Pattern VEPs. N = 11, 10, and 6 for MMEJ, untreated and OE, respectively. c Fear conditioning test. Freezing time before (Baseline) and during (Stimulus) presentation of fear-conditioned light cue from MMEJ treated (N = 9) and untreated (N = 6) mice. d Optokinetic response. Note threshold of spatial resolution of vision (visual acuity) was not different in the MMEJ and OE. N = 10, 7, and 4 for MMEJ, OE, and NoTx, respectively. Control Pde6ccpfl1/cpfl1 mice (N = 6). Data represent the mean ± S.E.M.; *P < 0.05 (a, b, d, ANOVAs followed by Tukey’s post hoc test; c Student’s t-test); nd, non-detectable; ns, not significant.
