Fig. 5: Retinotopic dependence of coherent motion correlation in each visual area.
From: Distributed and retinotopically asymmetric processing of coherent motion in mouse visual cortex
a Left: combined density scatter plot across all mice (n = 10 sessions over 10 mice) comparing z-scored coherent motion correlation to azimuth (Pearson’s correlation coefficient r = 0.09, p = 0.44) for area V1. Right: same as left, but for elevation (r = −0.81, p < 0.001). b–h Same as (a) for each HVA (LM, AL, PM, LI, RL, AM), and somatosensory cortex (S1). i Mean Pearson’s correlation coefficient between azimuth and coherent motion correlation for each area; only area LM and LI have a significant correlation (V1: p = 0.44; LM: p = 7.0 × 10−3; AL p = 0.46; PM: p = 0.38; LI: p = 8.0 × 10−3; RL: p = 0.76; AM: p = 0.46; S1: p = 0.33; two-tailed single-sample t test). j Same as (i), but for elevation. All visual areas except AL (r = 0.03, p = 0.85) and LI (r = −0.04, p = 0.74) show significant negative correlation between elevation and coherent motion correlation Control area S1 does not exhibit a correlation for either azimuth or elevation (V1: p = 1.4 × 10−6; LM: p = 4.3 × 10−3; AL: p = 0.85; PM: p = 4.5 × 10−6; LI: p = 0.73; RL: p = 0.035; AM: p = 0.036; S1: p = 0.1; two-tailed single-sample t test). °p < 0.05; *Bonferroni adjusted p < 0.006, p = 0.05, 8 tests). Error bars are median ± quartiles.
