Spatial distribution of stimulation and cell recruitment pattern. (a,b) Number (a mean ± SEM) and percentage (b) of cells responding to a single (grey), two (green), or multiple (pink) stimulation intensities. (c) Summary overlay for all cells from 3 mice and 4 experiments, aligned to a central point marked by the maximal distribution probability for multiple responders both for the X (c1) and the Y (c2) axis. (c1,c2) Normal distribution fits to cells responding to single (1x, grey, n = 228 cells), double (2x, green, n = 402 cells) and multiple (3x + 4x, magenta, n = 371 cells) levels of energy density. Scale bar: 100 µm, Vertical double-headed arrow on (c): 50 µm. (d) Percentage of cells responding to at least one energy density stimulus in the central part of the beam compared to its periphery. (e) Percentage of cells responding to one, two and three or four energy densities located in the central part of the beam path (figure created from Excel 2016).
