"description": "Three independent in vivo two-photon/miniscope studies in mouse neocortex report that cortical astrocyte Ca2+ activity is lower during NREM sleep than during wakefulness. All three converge on a common direction of effect across different Ca2+ indicators (GCaMP6/7), mouse lines, and cortical regions (frontal, somatosensory, visual).",
