Three types of core-innervating MBON
(A–C) Biocytin fills of MBON-α2sc (A), MBON-γ1pedc>αβ (B), and MBON-β1>α (C).
(D–F) Example voltage traces (top) and spike rasters (bottom) of MBON-α2sc (D), MBON-γ1pedc>αβ (E), and MBON-β1>α (F) during optogenetic activation of αβc KCs for the indicated durations.
(G–I) Average spike rates (left) and membrane potentials (right) before and during optogenetic activation of αβc KCs, in the absence (left) or presence of TTX (right). Illumination increased the spike rates and membrane potentials of MBON-α2sc (G; p = 0.0312 and p = 0.0084; Wilcoxon test and paired t test, respectively), MBON-γ1pedc>αβ (H; p = 0.0312 and p = 0.0469; Wilcoxon test and paired t test, respectively), and MBON-β1>α (I; p = 0.0312 and p = 0.0312, respectively; Wilcoxon tests). ∗p < 0.05. Data are means ± SEM; n, number of cells.
