a, Example trial of calcium imaging of hook flexion axons on the treadmill in which the animal did not transition often between moving and not moving, resulting in a high cross-correlation between predicted and measured calcium signals. b, Median predicted and measured calcium signals during active and passive movement bouts on the platform (N = 5 flies, n = 264–536 bouts in total); bouts are at least 0.5 s in duration. Distributions, kernel density estimations; boxes, IQR and median, whiskers extend up to 1.5 × IQR. c, Example of calcium imaging of hook flexion axons without the treadmill. d, Cross-correlation between predicted and measured calcium signals per trial at a time lag of zero (N = 8 flies, n = 58 trials in total). Black line, median; black dot, trial shown in c. e, Predicted and measured calcium signals aligned to the transitions into and out of movement (N = 8 flies). Signals are baseline subtracted (mean from −0.5 to 0 s). Thin lines, animal means; thick lines, mean of means; shadings, s.e.m. f, Example calcium imaging of hook flexion axons (second driver line) during behavior on the treadmill. g, Same as d but for the second hook flexion driver line imaged on the treadmill (N = 6 flies, n = 64 trials in total). h, Same as e but for the second hook flexion driver line imaged on the treadmill (N = 6 flies). Movement includes walking and grooming. i, Example of calcium imaging of hook flexion axons (second driver line) without the treadmill. j, Same as d but for the second hook flexion driver line imaged without the treadmill (N = 7 flies, n = 40 trials in total). k, Same as e but for the second hook flexion driver line imaged without the treadmill (N = 7 flies).
