Extended Data Fig. 5: Statistical comparison of performance accross conditions shown in Fig. 2, effect of unilateral cortical inhibition, and control experiment in wildtype mice.

(a,b) p-values from comparison of response rates (A) and accuracy (B) for the conditions shown in Fig. 2c,d, using statistical procedures described in the legend for Extended Data Fig. 2a,b. (c) Effect of unilateral cortical inhibition on target detection (n = 8 VGAT-ChR2 mice). The inhibited hemisphere(s) are indicated on the x-axis. Optogenetic light onset was 17 ms before target onset. The top plot shows, for trials on which the target was left, the mean fraction of trials that mice moved right (red, correct) or left (blue, incorrect). Error bars represent the standard error the mean. The sum of the red and blue data points for each condition is the response rate. The middle and bottom plots show similar data for target-right and no visual stimulus trials, respectively. (d,e) Effect of optogenetic light stimulus on response rate and accuracy in wild-type mice (n = 8) for the same conditions shown in Fig. 2c,d. Circles are means across mice; error bars represent standard error of the mean.
