Calcium imaging, MEA recordings, and immunostaining images dataset of neuron-astrocyte networks in culture under the effect of norepinephrine.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Monitoring the activity and morphology of neuron-astrocyte networks in culture is a powerful tool for studying dynamics, structure, and communication in neuron-astrocyte networks independently or as a model of the sub-brain network. These cultures are known to produce stereotypical patterns of activity, e.g., highly synchronized network bursts resembling sleep or seizure states, thus it enables the exploration of behaviors that can relate to brain function and disease. High-resolution microscopy of calcium imaging combined with simultaneous electrical recording provides a comprehensive overview on the network's dynamics. This setup makes it possible to apply global perturbations of electrical and chemical stimulation on the cultures during the recording task and to recor
