Astrocytic calcium transients are impaired at the slow-wave frequency in young APP mice. (A) Multiphoton microscopy image of YC3.6-expressing astrocytes in 4–6 months old NTG and APP mice. YC3.6 was expressed in the somas, processes, and endfeet of astrocytes (green), while dextran red filled the vasculature (red). (B) Representative ΔR/R0 traces of individual astrocytic calcium transients in NTG and APP mice. (C) Power spectral densities of calcium transients within astrocytic somas. Bright blue and red traces are averages, faint blue and red bands are SEM. (D) The mean power and frequency of somal calcium transients in NTG and APP mice. (E) The mean power and frequency of calcium transients within astrocytic processes in NTG and APP mice. (F) The mean power and frequency of calcium transients within astrocytic microdomains in NTG and in APP mice. Values are mean ± SEM, scale bar, 10 μm. ****p < 0.0001.
