Temporal abnormalities are partially conserved in fixed-astrocyte microcultures. A, Example EPSCs from solitary glutamatergic neurons in microcultures containing live astrocytes (green trace) or lightly fixed astrocytes (gray trace), obtained from the same coverslip and superimposed. B, Similar EPSCs, but from +astrocyte (black trace) and −astrocyte neurons (red trace). C, The bar graph displays EPSC waveform parameters of fixed-astrocyte EPSCs (gray bars; n = 14) and −astrocyte EPSCs (red bars; n = 14) normalized to their respective sibling live-astrocyte EPSCs (green and black dotted line; n = 11 and 12, respectively). *p < 0.05, Bonferroni corrected.
