a, Experimental setup for LFP recording with in vivo pharmacology. b, Example cortical LFP data following i.p. injections of either saline (black) or the Adra1a-specific agonist A61603 (1 µg kg−1, red). c, Representative spectrograms from saline-injected (top) and A61603 -injected (bottom) mice. Arrows and vertical lines indicate time of injection. d, Left: example of 2–7 Hz band power change with saline or A61603 injection, smoothed with a 2 min moving average. Right: A61603 increased LF power compared with saline (two-sided signed-rank test, n = 10 mice). e, Left: representative trace of 70–100 Hz band power with saline or A61603 injection. Right: A61603 did not affect HF power compared with saline (two-sided signed-rank test, n = 10 mice). f, LFP recordings were performed in homozygous Adra1afl/fl mice and wild-type littermate controls; all mice were injected with GFAP-Cre. g, Representative 30 s of LFP data from Adra1afl/fl (green) and wild-type (black) mice. h, Average LFP spectra from Adra1afl/fl (n = 5) and wild-type (n = 9) mice, with total LFP power higher in Adra1afl/fl mice (two-sided t-test, shaded region shows theoretical error bars with P = 0.05). i, Average LFP spectrograms around movement offset (t = 0 s) for wild-type (left) and Adra1afl/fl (right) mice. Data are normalized by the median power at each frequency to show state-related changes in LFP. Top: entire spectrograms from 0–100 Hz. Middle: 70–100 Hz range showing increased power in Adra1afl/fl mice compared with wild type during movement. Bottom: 2–7 Hz range showing reduced power after movement offset in Adra1afl/fl mice. j, There was increased 70–100 Hz power in Adra1afl/fl mice during movement (left, n = 303 wild-type and 194 Adra1afl/fl movement offsets) between cohorts (right, n = 5 Adra1afl/fl and 9 wild-type mice, two-sided t-test). k, Same as in j for 2–7 Hz power after mice stopped moving. For all scatter plots, individual data are plotted as mean ± s.e.m.
