Extended Data Fig. 7. Example events, extension of Fig. 6e.
These examples highlight the diversity of astrocytic events that cannot always be well captured as single-phase events. Note the different y-axis scale bars. The x-axis scale bars are identical across events. a, Example of a fading event (as defined in Fig. 6) that is barely visible except in the gliapil (yellow). b, Biphasic gliapil event. The first gliapil activation (yellow) does not result in centripetal propagation of calcium activity, but a second peak of gliapil activity manages to do so. c, Another example of biphasic gliapil activation. The first peak results in centripetal propagation, while the second gliapil peak is only weakly reflected by somatic calcium. d, Another example of biphasic gliapil activity. Slow somatic integration barely reflects the faster gliapil fluctuations. e, Example of very prominent centripetal propagation, resulting in persistent activation of the somatic region for 10 s of seconds. Note the relatively large pupil diameter. f, Similarly prominent centripetal propagation, resulting in a striking display of longer-lasting somatic calcium activity. Note the relatively high pupil value.
