VGNs innervate utricular HCs in a topographic manner.

a Maximum intensity projection image of VGNs expressing Kaede in a Tg(hspGFF53A; UAS:Kaede) larva at 5 dpf. Green-Kaede (green) is photoconverted to red-Kaede (magenta) only in the rostral vestibular ganglion (VG) somata. Dashed line encloses the utricle. Horizontal canal nerve (arrowhead) and ectopic Kaede-expressing cells (asterisk) overlapping the utricle are excluded from quantitative analysis. R: rostral. L: lateral. Scale bar: 10 μm. Distribution of voxel fluorescence intensity ratio (red/green) in utricles in the rostrocaudal (RC) (b), mediolateral (ML) (c), and dorsoventral (DV) (d) axes. Mean and SEM from 5 utricles. Large ratio values indicate a large amount of photoconverted red-Kaede fluorescence in the voxels. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
