(A) Timeline highlighting the chronic period of epilepsy, when the data in the figure were taken. At 4 weeks after SE, mice were recorded with vEEG for 2 consecutive weeks to quantify spontaneous convulsive seizures.
(B1) The total number of seizures was lower in iDREADDs mice compared to Cre−/−.
(B2) Seizure frequency (seizures/day) was lower in iDREADDs mice.
(B3) The number of days where at least one seizure was detected was lower in iDREADDs mice.
(B4) The number of consecutive days with a seizure was lower in iDREADDs mice.
(B5) The duration of convulsive seizures in iDREADDs mice was significantly shorter than Cre−/− mice.
(C1a and C2a) Representative EEG recording.
(C1b and C2b) Spectrogram corresponding to the EEG shows a convulsive seizure in a Cre−/− mouse compared to a convulsive seizure in an iDREADDs mouse. Note that the convulsive seizure in the Cre−/− mouse is considerably longer than the iDREADDs mouse (arrows). Data are represented as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
