Fig. 1. mPFC neurons support high rates of ICSS.

Fig. 1

a C57BL6 mice received an injection of either AAV-hSyn-ChR2-EYFP or AAV-hSyn-EYFP into one of the cortical regions and an optic-fiber implant. b Five injection areas. IL infralimbic region, mPFC medial prefrontal cortex, oPFC orbital PFC, PrL prelimbic region, TT tenia tecta. c Coronal sections show a representative EYFP expression with the tip of an optic-fiber placement (the arrow) just above the IL. Coronal sections were adopted from Allen Mouse Brain Atlas© of Allen Institute for Brain Science available at: https://mouse.brain-map.org/static/atlas. d Schematic showing a mouse in a conditioning chamber equipped with two levers for ICSS. e ICSS data: Responding on the left lever was rewarded with photostimulation (a 25-Hz 8-pulse train) in sessions 3–7 and 11–14, while no photostimulation in sessions 1–2 or 8–10. Each line shows lever-press data from a single mouse. mOrb medial orbital region, Cg2 cingulate area 2, vOrb ventral orbital region.
