Hypothalamic voltage deflection following CSD happens under P2X7R antagonism with an increase in latency to CSD. (a) Schematic representation of cortical and subcortical electrophysiology. (b) Representative traces of cortical (Cx) and subcortical recordings from the striatum (Str), hippocampus (Hc), thalamus (Th) and hypothalamus (Hypoth). (c) Schematic representation of cortical and hypothalamic electrophysiology experimental protocol (green dot: insertion point of tungsten electrode for hypothalamic recordings, pink dot: pin-prick site, grey dot: surface electrode). (d) Representative traces of cortical and hypothalamic recordings in control group or upon P2X7R antagonist administration. (e) Hypothalamic voltage deflection latency to CSD in control group and upon P2X7R antagonist administration (n = 4/group). (f) Representative images of hypothalamic c-fos immunofluorescent staining in naïve mice, after CSD induction and upon P2X7R antagonist administration. scale bar:25 µm (g) c-fos positive cell numbers in hypothalamus of naïve mice, after CSD induction and upon P2X7R antagonist administration (n = 5/group).
