Irradiance-dependent regulation of subparaventricular zone neural activity. A–C Representative single neuron responses (left) and mean ± SEM normalised population responses (right) to 60 s light steps from darkness for cells classified as fast excitatory (A; n = 5), slow excitatory (B; n = 21) or light suppressed (C; n = 20). See Additional file 2 for underlying raw data. D Mean ± SEM multiunit activity (MUA) traces (left) and light-evoked change in firing (right) across supraventricular zone (SPZ) recording sites (n = 128) for 60 s light steps from darkness. E Proportion of isolated single units exhibiting specified light response types (left) and projected anatomical locations of the corresponding cells (right). Data in A–D analysed by one-way RM ANOVA with Tukey’s post tests (A: F2, 12 = 11.2, P = 0.002; B: F2, 60 = 1190, P < 0.0001; C: F2, 57 = 21.3, P < 0.0001; D: F2, 381 = 3.4, P = 0.035)
