Extended Data Fig. 2: Quantification of the IC between hemispheres and among individuals.
From: Ventral striatal islands of Calleja neurons control grooming in mice
a, Left, 3D reconstruction of D3-Cre/tdTomato neurons in the OT demonstrating that the IC form a continuous branched network. Similar results were observed in 6 OTs from 3 mice. Right, map of registered neurons categorized as dense or loose neurons, respectively. Scale bars = 600 µm (left) and 500 µm (right). b, Top, 3D reconstructions of OT IC structures in individual hemispheres (left and middle panel), and the area of maximal overlap (right panel). Bottom left, IC overlap between the two hemispheres from the same mouse. Mirrored 3D objects were merged and aligned to create maximum overlap (white voxels). Scale bar = 500 µm. Bottom right, maximum volume overlap of the IC network between two hemispheres and among individuals. All averaged data are shown as mean ± s.e.m.
