Optogenetic rescue normalizes neuronal calcium in APP mice. (A, B) The images pseudocolored according to the intraneuronal calcium concentration, acquired from APP mice expressing mCherry (A) or ChR2 (B). A neuronal process exhibiting calcium overload is seen in red (white arrows). (C) Histogram showing the distribution of YFP/CFP ratios in neurites expressing YC 3.6. Neuronal calcium overload was defined as a YFP/CFP ratio larger than 2 standard deviations above the average YFP/CFP ratio in the neurons of NTG mice. The ratio of YFP/CFP > 1.73 was considered as calcium overload. (D) The percentage of neurites exhibiting calcium overload after 2–4 week light activation of astrocytes. Values are mean ± SEM. Males are represented by closed circles and females by open circles. Scale bar, 100 μm, *p < 0.05.
