Summary and overview of experimentally reported propagation speeds, DC shift amplitudes (DC) and their duration (DC dur.), peak in extracellular K+ levels (Peak [K+]e ), duration of increased relative changes in mean fluorescence (ΔFF dur.), alteration in neuronal volume fractions (Δαn) and their duration (Δαn dur.), and alteration in the ECS volume fractions (Δαe) during CSD from a selection of studies in either WT mice [Study (WT)] or AQP4 knock-out mice [Study (AQP4– /–)] measured (M) in vivo (IV) or in slices (S)

  • * Duration measured at half-maximum amplitude; † speed reported in experiments with TTX, indicated to be 50% of the CSD wave speed without TTX; § deviation from baseline of high [K+]e perfusion; ** baseline ECS volume fraction differs between WT mice (0.18) and AQP4– /– mice (0.23).
