Compartmentalized Ca²⁺ dynamics in the RIS process. a, c Ca²⁺ events paired to a reversal in the 2 s time window flanking a Ca²⁺ signal obtained from freely behaving animals (WT in a, flp-11(tm2706) in c). Top is the dorsal nerve ring (NR) region, passing through the branch region (Br) to the center of the cell body (CB). Only events significantly different from inactivity are shown, color coded for intensity, normalized and relative to the mean of the first 150 ms depicted. Blue and red hues indicate significant reductions and increases, respectively. Non-significant dynamics are omitted and shown in white. b, d Ca²⁺ events unpaired to a reversal in the 2 s time window flanking a Ca²⁺ signal, as in a, c. Number of events indicated. Significance level: T Test, p < 0.05
