Fig. 5. Responses of TuTu1 to dorsal polarized light. (A) Intracellular recording
traces of a TuTu1 during stimulation with three polarized monochromatic lights
at 9.0x109 photons cm2
s1. (B) Relative spiking activities at
max
(open bars) and response strength R (solid black bars) in response to
three polarized monochromatic lights (means ± s.e.m.),
*P<0.05; **P<0.01 (t-test). (C,D)
Intensity/response curves of neural activity at
max (C) and
response value R (D) in response to dorsally presented polarized blue
(450 nm) light. Symbol shapes represent different recordings. Maximum
intensity (logI=0) is 10.6x1012 photons
cm2 s1. Solid lines show fits of
NakaRushton functions with the fitting parameters
rAmax=0.96, K=4.26 log units, n=0.58 (C)
and rRmax=0.90, K=3.19 log units,
n=0.66 (D). Broken line in C indicates background activity.
