The activity synchrony of barrel neuron-astrocyte pairs is associated with a frequency increase of whisker stimuli. A~B) Correlation matrices show the cross-correlations for each of neuron-astrocyte pairs in response (Ca2+ signals) to paired-stimuli, including response one (R1) vs. response two (R2) at 8Hz (A) and 12Hz (B) of stimulus frequencies, respectively. Vertical axis in correlation matrix shows for astrocytes and horizonal axis for neurons. C) shows a comparison of correlation coefficients averaged from all active neuron-astrocyte pairs in responses to paired burst-stimuli at 8-to-12Hz. Asterisk presents p<0.05 in paired student’st-test.
