Inter-regional spontaneous coherence comparisons in adult mice treated with either saline
or ethanol at either age E8 or P7. A) Spontaneous coherence measures between
the OB and piriform cortex (PCX). Upper panels left and right show normalized coherence
across frequencies 0–80Hz, with the grouped bar graph panel summarizing average
coherences within each frequency band, defined as Delta (0–5Hz), Theta
(5–15Hz), Beta (15–35Hz) and Gamma (35Hz–80Hz). There was a
significant main effect for treatment in spontaneous theta band OB-PCX coherence
(** p<0.01). When general gamma coherence was subdivided (inset plots)
into slow (39–49Hz) and fast (75–80Hz) ranges, P7 ethanol
(*p<0.05), but not E8 ethanol-treated adult mice show a significant main effect
for treatment with elevated coherence over saline controls. B) Coherence
between the olfactory bulb (OB) and Hippocampus with data presentation formatted as in
(A). Lower panels of interaction plots display age-related differences between saline and
ethanol treated groups, with additional insets for slow and fast gamma subdivisions.
Spontaneous delta coherence between the OB and hippocampus was variable as a result of
ethanol treatment based on timing of delivery with a a significant interaction between
variables (Treatment x Age: ☆ p<0.05). Gamma coherence was elevated in adult
mice treated with ethanol at age E8, most dramatically in the fast gamma frequency range
(*p<0.05).
