Extended Data Fig. 1

a, Correlation between CST ablation and tactile behaviours in mice with pyramidotomy. For individual animals that received pyramidotomy, tag number, image and quantification of L3 spinal cord sections stained with anti-PKCγ antibodies showing remaining CST axons, percentage of withdrawal response to low-threshold von Frey filament (0.16g) and light brush, and sense time to the tape are shown. b, c, Performance on ground walking (b, P = 0.14, hindlimb weight support; P = 0.81, hindlimb retraction; P = 0.41, hindlimb protraction; P = 0.81, inter-limb coordination; P = 0.20, fore–hindlimb coordination), and rotarod test (c, P = 0.87) in mice with sham surgery (n = 8) or pyramidotomy (n = 12). n.s., no statistical significance. Two-sided student’s t-test. Data shown as mean ± s.e.m.
