Acute astrocyte Ca2+ influx through TrpA1 channels suppresses neuronal activity. A, All Alrm > TrpA1 flies became paralyzed within 30 s of exposure to 33°C, while control flies (Alrm-Gal4) show no behavioral defects. n > 80 flies per genotype; pa < 0.0001. B, Time course of paralysis in adult flies of the indicated genotypes on exposure to 33°C; repo-Gal80 suppresses the paralysis in Alrm > TrpA1 background, while elav-Gal80 has no effect. n > 70 flies for each genotype. C, Sample traces of CPG recording from larval NMJs. Postsynaptic potentials in Alrm > TrpA1 animals diminish during a temperature ramp from room temperature (22°C) to 34°C, while Alrm-Gal4 larvae maintain normal activity.
