Fig. 3. Comparison of the intercellular Ca2+ signaling induced by focal electrical (EE) and mechanical (Mech) stimulation of single sensory neurons in trigeminal ganglion cultures.

Fig. 3

(A) Amplitude of the Ca2+ response induced in the stimulated neurons, (B) efficacy of the intercellular Ca2+ wave (ICW) spread (number of responding cells per total number of cells in the field), (C) amplitude of the Ca2+ signal evoked in glial cells and (D) velocity of the ICW spread. Note the similar amplitude of the Ca2+ response of neurons to EE and Mech stimulation, and the similar properties of the neuron-generated ICWs that spread among glial cells in response to these two stimuli. Bars correspond to mean ± SEM of 12 and 10 fields each for EE and Mech stimulation, respectively.
