Fig. 3I&J.mat

Effects of optogenetic and pharmacological manipulations of dendritic activity on learning of the microstimulation detection task.

Conditions

Condition Description
Ctrl Animals after pairing sessions. No virus expression, but CNO was injected into L1 of S1.
BacL1 Animals after pairing sessions. GABAb receptor agonist baclofen was applied to L1 of S1.
SST SST-cre x ChR2 mice after pairing sessions. Somatostatin-positive interneurons were optogenetically activated by LED illumination on the surface of S1.
