Muscle proprioception does not play a role in RAs Ca²⁺ synchronization

(A) Top: raster plot of RA spontaneous Ca²⁺ activity of paralyzed larvae. Middle: number of Ca²⁺ events across RAs. Bottom: tail deflection (L0/R). Gray scale bar: ΔF/F.

(B) As in (A), but mild electric stimuli were presented every 180 s to induce escape behaviors. Red line: time of the mild electric stimulus.

(C) The mean Ca²⁺ activity of RAs associated with mild electric stimuli (time zero) in paralyzed (magenta) and non-paralyzed (orange) larvae. Mean amplitude of the two distributions were not significantly different (non-paralyzed, 0.98 ± 0.16; paralyzed, 0.83 ± 0.15, ΔF/F; p = 0.85; two-sided rank-sum test, n = 11 control, n = 5 paralyzed).
