1 Corresponding Author: Manuscript Number: Manuscript Type: Ofer Yizhar, PhD NNA54616C Article Reporting Checklist for Nature Neuroscience # Main s: 5 # lementary s: 10 # lementary Tables: 0 # lementary Videos: 0 This checklist is used to ensure good reporting standard to improve the reproducibility of published results. For more information, please read Reporting Life Sciences Research. Please note that in the event of publication, it is mandatory that authors include all relevant methodological and cal information in the manuscript. Statisti reporting, by example example Please specify the following information for each panel reporting quantitative data, and where each item is reported (section, e.g., & number). Each should ideally contain an exact sample size (n) for each experimental group/condition, where n is an exact number and not a range, a clear definition of how n is defined (for example x cells from x slices from x animals from x litters, collected over x days), a description of the cal used, the results of the s, any descriptive and clearly defined error bars if applicable. For any experiments using custom, please indicate the used and stats obtained for each experiment. Each should include a statement of how many times the experiment shown was replicated in the lab; the details of sample collection should be sufficiently clear so that the replicability of the experiment is obvious to the reader. For experiments reported in the text but not in the s, please use the number instead of the number. Note: Mean and standard deviation are not appropriate on small samples, and plotting t data points is usually more informative. When technical replicates are reported, error and significance measures reflect the experimental variability and not the variability of the biological process; it is misleading not to state this clearly.
