a-c, Percentage of time (a), mean episode duration (b), and episode number per hour (c) for each brain state within 2 h after i.c.v. infusion of P2Y12 agonist (2MeSADP) or ACSF. Each circle indicates data from one mouse; error bar: ± s.e.m. (n = 9 mice). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (a, two-tailed Wilcoxon signed rank test, *P = 0.039; b, paired two-tailed t-test, **P = 0.0030; c, paired two-tailed t-test; NREM, *P = 0.012; Wake, *P = 0.015). d, Schematic for two-photon (2 P) Ca2+ imaging in head-fixed mice without Gi-DREADD expression. e, Z-scored Ca2+ activity averaged across all microglia (CNO: n = 25; saline: n = 28; from 4 mice). Dashed line, time of injection. f, Population summary of the change in mean Ca2+ level. g, Diagram illustrating the comparison of Ca2+ activity before and after CNO or saline injection within each brain state. First, Ca2+ activity in NREM or wakeful episodes are averaged separately for before and after injection; second, the difference between the averaged Ca2+ activity before and after injection are calculated for each brain state. h, CNO-induced change in microglia Ca2+ for each brain state (difference between before and after injection). CNO, n = 47; saline: n = 40; from 5 mice. Bars, mean ± s.e.m. (two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test; NREM, ****P < 0.0001; Wake, ****P < 0.0001). i, j, Amplitude (i) and frequency (j) of Ca2+ events during baseline period (before saline or CNO injection). CNO: n = 47; saline: n = 40; from 5 mice. Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m.
