Optical inhibition of LHA glutamatergic neurons slightly changes the power distribution of frequency bands. A Schematic of inhibitory optogenetic virus (NpHR) injection into the LHA in Vglut2-Cre mice. B Left, histological image showing the location of fibers in the bilateral LHb; right, representative confocal images of immunofluorescent staining. C Ex vivo electrophysiology of NpHR virus action in LHA glutamatergic neurons. D, E Representative EEG traces (above) and corresponding power spectra (below) before, during, and after optical inhibition in the NpHR group (D) and the Control group (E) under 1.0% isoflurane anesthesia. F Statistics showing the change of BSR before and during optical stimulation. G, H Changes of EEG traces (above) and corresponding power spectra (below) in the NpHR group (G) and the Control group (H) under 0.8% isoflurane anesthesia. I Comparison of the spectral power percentage for 1 min before and after optical activation in the two groups. Data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation, n = 5 per group; *P <0.05; BSR, burst-suppression ratio; f, fornix; LHA, lateral hypothalamic area; 3V, third ventricle.
