Figure 1 Measuring GABA and Cortical Tuning in Human Somatosensory Cortex and Their Relationship to Perceptual Acuity (A) Representative participant: MRS data acquired in sensorimotor cortex (red voxel: 2 × 2 × 2cm) centered on the hand knob and primary visual cortex (experiment 2 only). Thresholded fMRI activation, green. (B) fMRI voxel-wise cortical tuning profile of somatosensory cortex activity across the movement cycle (gray) from index finger (2) to little finger (5), fitted with a sinusoid (green): sample of adjacent voxels from one fMRI acquisition in one participant. (C) Using the sinusoid fit to the cortical tuning profile during the cycle of digit movement (solid lines), a cortical tuning metric reflecting the selectivity of each voxel’s activity to a specific digit was defined as the period of the sinusoid fit (dashed lines), expressed as the inverse (1/period). (D) Representative MRS spectra from one participant. (E) Tactile temporal order judgment task quantifying perceptual acuity: representative accuracy data from one run/participant. ISI, interstimulus interval. Participant demographic information is provided in Table S1.

Figure 2 GABAergic Tone Reflects Cortical Tuning and Tactile Perceptual Acuity in the Somatosensory System: Experiment 1 (A) A strong relationship exists between cortical tuning in S1 and local GABA, but not glutamate. (B) Tactile perceptual acuity correlates strongly with S1 GABA, but not with S1 glutamate. (C) Cortical tuning correlates with tactile perceptual acuity; greater tuning is associated with better tactile abilities. ∗p < 0.05 Hittner’s test. JND, just noticeable difference; Cr, total creatine. Blue lines, confidence bounds. The significant difference in (A) persists with n = 11 (filled circles; Hittner’s Z = 2.00, p = 0.023). See also Figures S1–S4 and Tables S2 and S3. Current Biology 2017 27, 1685-1691.e3DOI: (10.1016/j.cub.2017.04.055) Copyright © 2017 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 GABAergic Relationships Show Anatomical Specificity: Experiment 2 An independent replication of the correlations between S1 GABAergic tone, cortical tuning, and tactile perceptual acuity in experiment 1, and evidence of the anatomical specificity of the neurochemical relationship using a V1 MRS control voxel. (A) Significant correlations between cortical tuning in S1 and S1 cortical GABA, but neither S1 glutamate (Hittner’s: Z = 2.60, p = 0.0047) nor V1 GABA (Hittner’s Z = 1.65, p = 0.049). (B) Tactile perceptual acuity correlates strongly with S1 GABA, but with neither S1 glutamate, nor V1 GABA (Hittner’s Z = −2.31, p = 0.0104). (C) Cortical tuning correlates with tactile perceptual acuity. ∗p < 0.05 Hittner’s test. Abbreviations as per Figure 2. See also Figures S1–S4 and Tables S2 and S3.

Figure 4 Cortical Tuning Exerts a Complete Mediating Effect on the Relationship between GABAergic Tone and Perceptual Acuity MRS, fMRI, and behavioral data pooled from experiments 1 and 2 (n = 22). (A) Mediation approach applied to investigate the link between GABA concentrations (X), cortical tuning (Mi), and perceptual acuity (Y). (B) A significant mediating effect of cortical tuning (Mi) in the relationship between GABAergic tone and perceptual acuity. The strong mediating effect of cortical tuning accounted for a considerable proportion of the total relationship between GABA and perceptual acuity (PM = 0.88; Sobel test, Z = 2.59, p = 0.0097, Preacher and Kelley κ2 = 0.4651.)
