1 Corresponding Author: Manuscript Number: Manuscript Type: Benjamin R. Rost NNT51693 Technical Report Reporting Checklt for Nature Neuroscience # Main Figures: 6 # Supplementary Figures: 9 # Supplementary Tables: 0 # Supplementary Videos: 0 Th checklt used to ensure good reporting standards and to improve the reproducibility of publhed results. For more information, please read Reporting Life Sciences Research. Please note that in the event of publication, it mandatory that authors include all relevant methodological and stattical information in the manuscript. Stattics reporting, by figure example example Please specify the following information for each panel reporting quantitative data, and where each item reported (section, e.g. Results, & paragraph number). Each figure should ideally contain an exact sample size (n) for each experimental group/condition, where n an exact number and not a range, a clear definition of how n defined (for example x cells from x slices from x animals from x litters, collected over x days), a description of the stattical used, the results of the s, any descriptive stattics and clearly defined error bars if applicable. For any experiments using custom stattics, please indicate the used and stats obtained for each experiment. Each figure 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 obvious to the reader. For experiments reported in the text but not in the figures, please use the paragraph number instead of the figure number. Note: Mean and standard deviation are not appropriate on small samples, and plotting independent data points 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 mleading not to state th clearly.

If so, where th reported (section, paragraph #)? Stattics and general methods 1. Is there a justification of the sample size? If so, how was it justified? Even if no sample size calculation was performed, authors should report why the sample size adequate to measure their effect size. 2. Are stattical s justified as appropriate for every figure? a. If there a section summarizing the stattical methods in the meth the stattical for each experiment clearly defined? b. Do the data meet the assumptions of the specific stattical you chose (e.g. normality for a parametric )? Where th described (section, paragraph #)? c. Is there any estimate of variance within each group of data? Is the variance similar between groups that are being stattically compared? Where th described (section, paragraph #)? The immunocytochemtry images are representatives of two to three independent experiments, as stated in section Immunocytochemtry. Live cell imaging experiments of phluorin signals in Fig. 2a, Supplementary Fig. 1c, Supplementary Fig. 3a and Supplementary Fig. 5d and e were quantified, images are shown to illustrate the effects. The number of ed cells are stated in the figure s. Live cell fluorescence of infected cells, as shown in Supplementary Fig. 1b and Supplementary Fig. 4b, were routinely checked for electrophysiological experiments, but not further ed. Images are representative for these experiments. Sample sizes were not predetermined by stattical meth but are similar to those reported in previous publications. Th stated in the Online methods. Appropriate stattical s were applied for each set of data. Details of the s are provided in the ods section under the title " ". Stattical methods are summarized under. For each experiment, the stattical specified in the figure. dtribution was ed for each set of data using the D'Agostino and Pearson omnibus normality. Stated in. We have not systematically ed for equal variances, but report SEM providing a reliable measure of variance within and between groups. d. Are s specified as one or twosided? Yes. We only used twosided s. e. Are there adjustments for multiple comparons? We performed Sidak's multiple comparons and report multiplicityadjusted Pvalues for the twoway ANOVAs. 3. Are criteria for excluding data points reported? Was th criterion establhed prior to data collection? Where th described (section, paragraph #)? During the of miniature EPSCs (Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Supplementary Fig. 2, Supplementary Fig. 6), cells were excluded posthoc when falsepositive events occured at a frequency of > 2 Hz. Described in. 6

7 4. Define the method of randomization used to assign subjects (or samples) to the experimental groups and to collect and process data. If no randomization was used, state so. Where does th appear (section, paragraph #)? 5. Is a statement of the extent to which investigator knew the group allocation during the experiment and in assessing outcome included? If no blinding was done, state so. 6. For experiments in live vertebrates, a statement of compliance with ethical guidelines/regulations included? 7. Is the species of the animals used reported? 8.

Is the previous htory of the animals/subjects (e.g. prior drug admintration, surgery, behavioral ing) reported? Viral particles encoding controls and phoenix constructs were randomly applied on different wells of the same 6 or 12 well plate. Recordings from multiple groups were performed on the same day, in a randomized order. No blinding was done throughout the study. Analys of s was performed by an automatic miniature event detection algorithm implemented in Axograph X, which does not require any manual selection of events. Therefore, we concluded the blinding was not necessary in th study. We did not perform experiments in live animals, but obtained primary cell from newborn mice or rats. Animals were handled in accordance with the regulations of local authorities and the animal welfare committee of the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany. Stated in section "Autaptic of primary hippocampal neurons". Yes. Stated in section "Cell Culture": Mice were used for autaptic, while rats were used for organotypic slice. Yes. We used C57/BL6N mice for autaptic and Wtar rats for organotypic slice. Stated in sections "Autaptic of primary hippocampal neurons" and "Hippocampal organotypic slice " Genders were equally used for the preparation of primary. Stated in section "Cell Culture". Yes. Stated in Cell culture, sections "Autaptic of primary hippocampal neurons" and "Hippocampal organotypic slice " 7
