Extended Data Fig. 5: Unilateral photoinactivation of ALM, TJM1 and latSC minimally impairs L3 kinematics.

a-f, Effect of unilateral ALM, TJM1 or latSC inactivation on L3 lick kinematics for left, centre and right trials. a, L3 contact probability. b, Corrective submovement (CSM) probability. c, Lick duration. d, Lick pathlength. e, Lick peak speed. f, Number of acceleration peaks. Data in a-f are median ± IQR. Colours in a-f correspond to the photoinactivated brain region. g. Effect of unilateral inactivation of latSC on L3 protrusion angles in VGAT-ChR2-eYFP mice (n = 2). Note that, like unilateral latSC photoinactivation in Vgat-cre mice targeting the SNr-SC pathway, unilateral latSC inactivation in VGAT-ChR2-eYFP mice impaired contralateral re-aiming. Black dots are no laser trials from the same session. Grey dots are medians of individual mice. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, two-sided hierarchical bootstrap test; n.s., not significant. Exact statistics are in Supplementary Table 7.
