Extended Data Fig. 8. Optogenetic inhibition of VTA DA neurons decreases time in the interaction zone.
(a) Number of visits in the interaction zone when the door is closed between D15 and D20. Unpaired t-test two-sided (t(16) = 0.2808, P = 0.7824). (b) Number of visits in the interaction zone when the door is open between D15 and D20. Mann-Whitney U test two-sided (U = 14). (c) Velocity in the operant chamber when the door is closed between D15 and D20. Unpaired t-test two-sided (t(16) = 0.1528, P = 0.8804). (d) Velocity in the operant chamber when the door is open between D15 and D20. Unpaired t-test two-sided (t(16) = 1.018, P = 0.3237).
N indicates the number of mice. Dots represent individual data points. All the data are shown as the mean +/-s.e.m. as error bars.
