(b) Alternation percentage in the Y-maze task showing significant reduction in the Arc-/- animals compared to wild-type animals (**p=0.001, t-test, t(15)=3.975, WT N=8, Arc-/- N=9 mice, both groups passed Shapiro-Wilk normality test at alpha = 0.05). (c) Total arm entries are comparable between Arc-/- and WT. (d) Top, schematic for AAV injection in Th-Cre animals to label dopaminergic neurons. Bottom, confocal image showing tdTomato (red) and SypGFP (green) labeling in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Scale bar, 100 µm. (e) Left, confocal image showing labeled dopaminergic axons in the frontal cortex. The dotted line indicates the region-of-interest for M2. Scale bar, 100 µm. Right, zoomed-in region showing labeled axons (tdTomato, red) and boutons (tdTomato+SypGFP, yellow). Scale bar, 20 µm. (f, g) The normalized axon length (f) is not significantly different. The normalized bouton density (g) is significantly reduced in Arc-/- animals compared to WT (*p=0.034, t-test, t(12)=2.393, N=7 mice for each group). The axon length is normalized by the number of labeled cells in VTA, the bouton density is normalized by the axon length, and both are expressed as a percentage of the group average in WT mice. All the error bars indicate SEM.

(b) Example traces of spontaneous cortical activity averaged from the whole image frame in control mCherry only (blue) and DREADD-Gq (red) animals before and 1 hr after clozapine N-oxide (CNO) injection.

The cortical calcium activity at each time point is represented by the change in image fluorescence relative to the baseline image fluorescence (ΔF/F). (5 pulse F(1,10)=6.0, *p=0.034, 10 pulse F(1,10)=9.5, *p=0.012, two-way ANOVA, N=6 mice per group).

(a) Example confocal image of DREADD-Gq-mCherry labeling in the midbrain. Scale bar, 100 µm. (b) Top, example images showing standard deviation projection of in vivo two-photon calcium activity movies in the M2 frontal cortex. Bottom, example traces of spontaneous cortical activity in a representative sample of individual cells before and 1 hr after CNO injection in a DREADD-Gq animal. Scale bar, 20 µm. (c) Saline injection in DREADD-Gq-expressing mice did not alter M2 neural activity, and CNO-induced increase in M2 neural activity was suppressed by D1 antagonist SCH23390 (1 mg/kg, i.p.). Two injections (CNO-SAL, CNO-SCH, or SAL-SAL) were done in each animal. Three imaging sessions were conducted: before any injection, 1 hr after the first injection to allow CNO to take effect, and 30 min after the second injection to allow SCH to take effect. Cortical activity is summarized by the standard deviation (SD) of the spontaneous activity traces. Activity changes are calculated as (SD-SD0)/SD0, where SD0 is before any drug or saline injection, and SD is after CNO, saline, or SCH23390 injection (two-way repeated measures ANOVA, group × treatment, F(2,18) = 8.9, p=0.0020; Sidak’s multiple comparison: CNO followed by SAL, p=0.5667; CNO followed by SCH, ***p=0.0002; SAL followed by SAL, p=0.8492; N=7 mice for each group).

(b) Example traces of spontaneous cortical activity averaged from the whole image frame in control EGFP only (blue) and SSFO (orange)-labeled animals before and 30 min after frontal cortical blue light stimulation. (c) SSFO animals show significantly higher change in cortical activity (summarized by the standard deviation of spontaneous activity traces) compared to control EGFP animals after the light activation, suggesting light activation of SSFO expressing dopamine neurons (***p=0.001, t-test, t(8)=5.135, N=5 mice for each group).

(d) Diagram showing procedures for local light activation of frontal dopaminergic projections and Y-maze testing in Arc-/-;Th-Cre mice labeled with SSFO or Ctrl-GFP viruses. Light activation was delivered in adolescence (5 weeks of age) once per day for 3 days. Animals were first tested in the Y-maze 1 day after the last light activation and then tested again in the Y-maze at adulthood, followed by an amphetamine-induced locomotion test. (e–h) SSFO-expressing animals show significantly higher alternation compared to control animals 1 day after light activation (e) (*p=0.028, t-test, t(15)=2.440, N=9 EGFP, N=8 SSFO mice, both groups passed Shapiro-Wilk normality test at alpha = 0.05), with no difference in total entries (f). These animals also show higher alternation at adulthood (g) (*p=0.015, t-test, t(15)=2.748, EGFP N=9, SSFO N=8, both groups passed Shapiro-Wilk normality test at alpha = 0.05) with no difference in total entries (h).
