Specific calcium signal in hippocampus and EC. (A) Four kinds of calcium activities in hippocampal CA1. The amplitudes of these four kinds of calcium signals were as follows. Before KA: 0.65 ± 0.04% ∆F/F, wave1: 4.25 ± 0.35% ∆F/F, wave2: 11.83 ± 1.21% ∆F/F, slow flash: 4.03 ± 0.32% ∆F/F; before vs. wave1, ***p = 0.0001; before vs. wave2, ***p = 0.0002; before vs. slow flash, ***p = 0.0002; wave1 vs. wave2, *p = 0.0031; wave2 and slow flash, **p = 0.0014; n = 4 mice, Paired t-tests. The occurrence rates were as follows. Wave1: 1.06 ± 0.06 Hz, wave2: 1.66 ± 0.14 Hz, slow flash: 0.28 ± 0.03 Hz; wave1 vs. wave2, *p = 0.0108; wave1 vs. slow flash, ****p < 0.0001; wave2 vs. slow flash, ***p = 0.0002; n = 4 mice, Paired t-tests. (B) Three kinds of calcium activities in hippocampal CA3. The amplitudes of these three kinds of calcium signals were as follows. Before KA: 0.54 ± 0.11% ∆F/F, wave1: 2.86 ± 0.64% ∆F/F, wave2: 7.73 ± 1.45% ∆F/F; before vs. wave1, *p = 0.0148; before vs. wave2, **p = 0.0043; wave1 vs. wave2: *p = 0.02; n = 4 mice, Paired t-tests. The occurrence rates were as follows. Wave1: 0.92 ± 0.07 Hz, wave2: 1.68 ± 0.19 Hz; wave1 vs. wave2, *p = 0.0329; n = 4 mice, Paired t-tests. (C) Three kinds of calcium activities in hippocampal DG. The amplitudes of these three kinds of calcium signals were as follows. Before KA: 0.61 ± 0.04% ∆F/F, wave1: 1.53 ± 0.21 ∆F/F, wave2: 15.63 ± 2.04% ∆F/F; before vs. wave1, *p = 0.018; before vs. wave2, **p = 0.006; wave1 vs. wave2: **p = 0.0077; n = 4 mice, Paired t-tests. The occurrence rates were as follows. Wave1: 1.27 ± 0.13 Hz, wave2: 1.68 ± 0.54 Hz; wave1 vs. wave2, p = 0.51; n = 4 mice, Paired t-tests. (D) Two kinds of calcium activities in EC. The amplitudes of these two kinds of calcium signals were as follows. Before KA: 1.04 ± 0.05% ∆F/F, wave1: 4.15 ± 0.37% ∆F/F; before vs. wave1, ***p = 0.0009; n = 5 mice, Paired t-tests. And the occurrence rate of wave1 was 1.31 ± 0.29 Hz. Wave2 was divided into two parts, namely build-up (blue box) and CSD-like wave (grey box).
