Figure 3 .
Occurrence of spindle burst spontaneous activity is reduced in SSTcs but not VIPcs animals. (A) (1) Power spectra for spontaneous activity in the frequency range between 5 and 50 Hz during (1) CP animals, (2) pre-AW, and (3) AW. We observed a difference between SSTcs and WT/VIPcs over the alpha-theta range (two-way ANOVA, frequency/genotype interaction, F(4,86) = 3.32, P < 0.05). No interaction between genotype and frequency was found in recordings from animals during pre-AW (F(4,58) = 0.698, P = 0.596) or AW (F(4,64) = 1.010, P = 0.410). (B) Spontaneous activity during CP in WT, SSTcs, and VIPcs animals. SB events are marked by arrows. (C) Average wavelet spectrograms of the detected events observed across the 3 backgrounds shown top to bottom as in panel B. (D) Average occurrence rate of SBs in WTs, SSTcs, and VIPcs animals; we observed a significant difference between genotypes (F(2,43) = 6.177, P < 0.01). (E) Average duration of the recorded SBs with no difference by genotype (F(2,43) = 0.6287, P = 0.53). (F) The average oscillation frequency of the recorded SBs. There was no difference by genotype (F(2,43) = 1.533, P = 0.23). WT: N = 24, SSTcs: N = 10, VIPcs: N = 12. *P < 0.05 in post hoc Dunn’s multiple comparison test.
