Figure 7. Paired analysis of STCs and FTCs in individual astrocytes shows consistently faster kinetics of FTCs and confirms lack of lesion dependent change in glutamate uptake kinetics.
A, Representative trace from a single P28 PMZ astrocyte showing paired electrically-evoked STCs and uncaging-evoked FTCs. Break = 7.5 seconds. B, Paired fast time constants of STC and FTC decays from individual sham-injured (black), microgyral (MG, blue) PMZ astrocytes (red). C, Paired peak latencies of STCs and FTCs from individual sham-injured (black), microgyral (blue), and PMZ astrocytes (red). Error bars represent SEM, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, paired t test.
