Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Schematic representation of the experimental design. A mix of AAV9-CamKII-GCaMP6s and AAV1-hSyn-Cre was injected into the DG of Htr1a flox/flox mice. ( B ) Representative example showing photometry and EEG recordings in the DG of a control mouse injected with AAV9-CaMKII-GCaMP6s alone. Right, Fourier transformation of calcium activity during wake (blue) non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep (red). ( C ) A representative example showing photometry and EEG recordings in the DG of a mouse injected with AAV9-CaMKII-GCaMP6s and AAV1-hSyn-Cre. Right, Fourier transformation of calcium activity during wake (blue) NREM sleep (red). ( D ) Left, Quantification of the relative power of the calcium oscillation in the range of 1–2 cycles/min in the Cre and control groups (16 sessions from 5 mice for Cre, 16 sessions from 6 mice for control). Right, Quantification of calcium oscillation amplitudes in the Cre and control groups. Calcium signals in each mouse were normalized to Z scores. **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, unpaired t-test. ( E ) Schematic representation of the contextual fear conditioning (CFC) experimental design. ( F ) Left, Contextual fear recall tests showing percentage of freezing in 1 min time bins for Htr1a flox+/+ mice bilaterally injected with AAV9-CaMKII-Cre-GFP (Cre) or AAV9-CaMKII-GFP (GFP). Right, Quantification of freezing behavior over 5 min interval during contextual recall tests in Cre and GFP groups (N=11 for Cre, N=12 for GFP, *p<0.05, ***p<0.001, unpaired t-test).
