Photomicrographs showing the biggest (a, b) and the smallest (c, d) injection included in the analysis. Scale bar a, b: 500 µm and c, d: 100 µm. e, f Schematic reconstruction of coronal brain sections showing the extent of DREADD infections. Different coloured outlines represent the biggest (light pink) and the smallest (green) injection. The brain drawings are modified from ref. 61.
