Multisensory learning binds modality-specific neurons into a cross-modal memory engram

Abstract

Withdrawal StatementThe authors have withdrawn this manuscript. After conducting replication experiments and reanalysing the original data, the authors discovered that the voltage imaging results are not reproducible. Additional voltage imaging work by the authors and their collaborators has not produced robust signals. Furthermore, errors in the pipeline originally used for data analysis could have led to the contamination of data. A complete reanalysis by the authors of the voltage imaging data independently from the original pipeline did not replicate the original analysis. Although the authors have replicated the behavioural and connectomic data and consider that the general conclusions of the article are substantiated, the authors have no confidence in the voltage imaging data. The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused to their scientific colleagues and the readers of the journal. The authors would like to thank Waddell lab members, A. Cook, A. Miriyala and M. Klappenbach, who were involved in the replication experiments but are not authors of the original paper and M. Hoffmann, S. Thornquist and G. Maimon of Rockefeller University for identifying possible errors in the voltage data processing. All authors agree with the withdrawal, with the exception of P. F. Jacob who did not respond to correspondence. Therefore, the authors do not wish this work to be cited as reference for the project. If you have any questions, please contact the corresponding author.
