From: The topology of astrocyte networks controls the propagation of intercellular calcium waves
3D representations of activated astrocytes during an ICW with A. large extent, B. medium extent and C. very restricted extent. Gray nodes denote astrocytes that were not activated by the ICW while the blue central node denotes the stimulated astrocyte. D. Different topologies of astrocyte networks that were used in this study represented in 2D for readability. E. Color-coded ICW extent in the mean degree / mean-shortest path plane. Each point represents 20 realizations of a network. F. Stereotypical shape of calcium oscillations in our biophysical model. Green shaded regions denote activation of the astrocyte.
