Supplementary Figure 12: Average distances between the soma of the patched cell and the somata of neighboring photostimulated cells

This boxplot corresponds to experiments reported on Fig. 5e,g. Blue and red symbols represent average distances between the several photostimulated neighboring cells (n = 5 to 8 cells) and the patched cells (7 patched cells expressing CoChR-GFP from 6 mice, blue symbols; 7 patched cells expressing soCoChR-GFP from 7 mice, red symbols). Horizontal dashed lines represent the average distance over all experiments (n = 7 patched CoChR-GFP expressing cells, n = 7 patched soCoChR-GFP expressing cells). The height of the rectangles represents two standard deviations of the distribution of the average distances over different experiments. The differences in the distances in the two groups were not significant under a Wilcoxon rank sum test. Statistics are reported in Supplementary Table 4.
