Fig. 4

a Schematic representation of AAV-RAM-Tet-off-PA-Cre 3.0 application for targeting active neurons in mouse dorsal raphe nucleus using RAM element and optic cannula. b Experimental time course of AAV-RAM-Tet-off-PA-Cre 3.0 application in mouse dorsal raphe nucleus with restraint, which can activate c-fos, and BL illumination. The mouse groups were kept in doxycycline-free condition. c Representative immunofluorescent images of red fluorescent protein, mCherry (red) and neuronal activity marker, c-fos (green), in mouse dorsal raphe nucleus infected with AAV-RAM-Tet-off-PA-Cre 3.0 viruses in dark (n = 2), and BL illumination (n = 3). Optic cannulas are shown in yellow dashed lines. White arrowheads show c-fos- and mCherry-positive neurons in the area. Scale bar, 100 μm.
