Contributions of distinct inhibitory neuron types to auditory signal detection. A, Inactivation of PV+ cells during the signal detection task. Laser was presented for a random 25% of trials each session. B, Example psychometric curve from one PV::ArchT mouse (trials pooled across multiple sessions). Inactivation of auditory cortical PV+ cells decreased the probability of the mouse reporting hearing the signal when it was present, though false alarm rate was unaffected. Error bars show 95% confidence intervals. C, Inactivating auditory cortical PV+ cells during the signal detection task significantly reduced sensitivity to the signal (p =0.0046, Wilcoxon signed-rank test; N =13 mice). D, Inactivating auditory cortical PV+ cells during the signal detection task significantly reduced the hit rate (p =0.033, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). E, Inactivating auditory cortical PV+ cells during the signal detection task did not significantly affect the false alarm rate (p =0.861, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). F, The effect of inactivating auditory cortical PV+ cells (No PV) on d′ was not correlated with the effect of visual distraction (control) on d′ (p =0.609, r =0.157; linear correlation coefficient). G, The effect of inactivating auditory cortical PV+ cells on hit rate was not correlated with the effect of visual distraction on hit rate (p =0.657, r = –0.136; linear correlation coefficient). H, The effect of inactivating auditory cortical PV+ cells on false alarm rate was not correlated with the effect of visual distraction on false alarm rate (p =0.981, r = –0.0073; linear correlation coefficient). I, Inactivation of SOM+ cells during the signal detection task. Laser was presented for a random 25% of trials each session. J, Like B, but for one SOM::ArchT mouse. Inactivation of auditory cortical SOM+ cells reduced the probability of the mouse reporting hearing the signal when it was present, though false alarm rate was unaffected. K, Inactivating auditory cortical SOM+ cells during the signal detection task significantly reduced sensitivity to the signal (p =0.0051, Wilcoxon signed-rank test; N =10 mice). L, Inactivating auditory cortical SOM+ cells during the signal detection task significantly reduced the hit rate (p =0.0051, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). M, Inactivating auditory cortical SOM+ cells during the signal detection task did not significantly affect the false alarm rate (p =0.878, Wilcoxon signed-rank test). N, The effect of inactivating auditory cortical SOM+ cells (No SOM) on d′ was not correlated with the effect of visual distraction (control) on d′ (p =0.546, r =0.218; linear correlation coefficient). O, The effect of inactivating auditory cortical SOM+ cells on hit rate was correlated with the effect of visual distraction on hit rate (p =0.0494, r =0.633; linear correlation coefficient). P, The effect of inactivating auditory cortical SOM+ cells on false alarm rate was not correlated with the effect of visual distraction on false alarm rate (p =0.0725, r =0.590; linear correlation coefficient).
