TACO sensor design and response properties.

(A) Schematics depicting the multichannel biosensor design, including the assembly used in in vitro and head-fixed recordings (bottom). HS: head-stage. (B) Voltammogram showing H2O2 sensitivities of gold-plated and platinized sites upon amperometric calibrations at different DC potentials (n = 10). Prior to calibrations, tetrodes were coated with a matrix of chitosan/ChOx. (C) Top shows a representative calibration of a sensor showing the response of different types of sites to step additions of Ch, H2O2, dopamine (DA). and ascorbate (AA). Bottom shows an example of current responses to a sinusoidal 12 mV AC voltage at 0.2 Hz overlaid on top of +0.6 V vs. Ag/AgCl DC voltage. (D) Sensitivities of different sites toward Ch (n = 10 biosensors). Unlike m-PD electropolymerization, platinization significantly increased sensitivity (p<0.0001 and F1,33 = 115 for platinization effect and p=0.87 and F1,33 = 0.03 for m-PD, by two-way ANOVA for unbalanced data). (E) Normalized responses of each tetrode site to Ch, interferent molecules and AC voltage, presented as impedance at 0.2 Hz (n = 5–10). Magnitudes significantly depended on the site modification and on the factor tested (p<0.0001 and F1,113 = 22 for platinization, F1,113 = 109 for m-PD and F3,113 = 12.9 for factors, by three-way ANOVA for unbalanced data). Platinization selectively increased responses to Ch (p<0.0001) while m-PD decreased responses only to DA and AA (p<0.0001). Impedances did not significantly differ across different types of electrode modifications (p>0.99). The rightmost column shows COA signal responses computed from the difference between Au/Pt/m-PD and Au/m-PD sites. Groups were compared by three-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer post-hoc tests. Data are represented as mean ± CI.

TACO sensor provides a highly sensitive and selective measurement of COA in freely behaving animals.

(A) Left panel shows a simplified diagram of the electronic circuits in freely moving recordings. The amperometric measurement (one channel for simplicity) was based on a voltage clamp circuit. Rf: feedback resistor (1 GOhm); A1, A2: OP amps; Vcmd: command voltage; Im: measured current (acquired as analog voltage signal). Vcmd is set on the MHS-BR4-VA box and sent to the head-stage. Its output is acquired by an Open-Ephys system. Electrophysiological setup is depicted in bottom. Vm: measured voltage output. The amplified LFP signal is acquired by the Neuralynx system. Right panel depicts the arrangement of a TACO sensor and a 32-channel silicon probe chronically implanted in the hippocampus of a rat. Both probes were attached to microdrives. (B) Top, segment of NREM sleep recording, a raw signal (low-pass filtered at 1 Hz), cleaned COA and confound components. Bottom, spectrum of the raw and clean COA signal during wake (n = 10) and NREM sleep periods (n = 19). Data shown as medians ± CI. (C) Average low frequency (1 Hz low-pass filtered) biosensor signals and high frequency power spectrograms triggered to SWRs detected from a silicon probe channel in CA1 pyramidal layer (top quartile of all ripples sorted by power, n = 2019). Average raw (top), cleaned (middle) COA responses and LFP spectrogram triggered on SWRs (bottom). (D) Average raw (top) cleaned COA responses (middle), average speed (middle) and LFP spectrogram (bottom) triggered to peaks in rat speed in an open-field arena (n = 127). Data are represented as mean ± CI, except in B.

(B) Comodugram showing high correlation between LFP power, recorded during NREM sleep, from a silicon probe’s site in CA1 pyramidal layer and the power of the amperometric signal from a biosensor site, targeted to the same hippocampal layer. (C) Normalized power spectra triggered to SWRs highlighting the similarity of profiles gathered using both modalities. (D) Cross-correlogram of SWR timings detected using amperometry and electrophysiology, emphasizing the high co-occurrence of these events (n = 8074 for electrophysiology and n = 8085 for amperometry).

Tonic COA dynamics across brain states in a freely moving animal.

(A) Representative recording across multiple brain states showing power spectrogram from a silicon probe site at hippocampal fissure (top), rat speed (middle) and clean ChOx signal (bottom). (B) Change in tonic putative Ch levels following transitions from NREM sleep to wake (n = 3) or REM sleep (n = 9). Both groups were significantly different from zero (p=0.046 for NREM to Wake and p<0.0001 for NREM to REM, inferred from one-way anova followed by Tukey-Kramer post-hoc analysis). An outlier was excluded from the NREM to REM group (1.64, exceeding three median absolute deviations away from median).

Biosensors generate tonic and phasic COA components in response to O2.

(A) The voltammogram shows the DC voltage-related sensitivity of gold-plated sites toward H2O2 (n = 10) and O2 (n = 5). (B) An example of an in vitro O2 calibration. Upon removal of O2 from PBS containing 5 μM Ch, 5 μM O2 additions (arrows) were performed until the tonic sensor response saturated. (C) Representative cumulative tonic and phasic responses as a function of O2 baseline after each addition. Tonic data were fitted with Michaelis-Menten equation, resulting in a KmO2app of 0.97 μM (CI = 0.818–1.126 μM) and Imax = 13.2 pA (CI = 13.04–13.37 pA), with RMSE = 0.08 pA. Phasic responses were fitted to the Hill equation, yielding K0.5O2 = 8.6 μM (CI = 7.58–9.62 μM), Hill coefficient n = 2.31 (CI = 1.74–2.88) and Imax = 22.4 pA (CI = 20.6–24.1), with rmse = 0.50 pA. (D) K0.5O2app values of tonic and phasic components from all biosensors (n = 14). Averages and error bars are medians and CIs. Groups were significantly different (sign test, p<0.0005). (E) T90 rise times of O2 steps and COA peaks following O2 additions (n = 72–95). Bars and error bars represent medians and 95% CIs, groups were significantly different (p<0.0001, Wilcoxon rank sum test). (F) Biosensor efficiency (Ch/H2O2 sensitivity ratio) as a function of KmO2app (n = 6). For illustrative purposes, data were fitted with an exponential function. Spearman correlation between variables was −0.9 (p=0.028). (G) Maximal phasic response to O2 (from each biosensor calibration) as a function of KmO2app (n = 14, rspearman = −0.86, p<0.0001). Data were fitted with an exponential decay curve (decay constant k = 0.4 μM−1, CI = 0.031–0.78 μM−1, rmse = 0.68 μM). (H) Amplitudes of phasic ChOx responses divided into low and high-KmO2app groups (n = 7 per group) following O2 additions. Control phasic O2 using the same algorithm is plotted for the same groups (n = 6 for high-KmO2app and n = 4 for low-KmO2app). Low-KmO2app COA transients were higher than those from the high-KmO2app group (p<0.0001) and the amplitudes from both COA groups were higher than any O2 group (p<0.005). Oxygen transients from low-KmO2app vs. high-KmO2app groups did not significantly differ (p=0.998). Group comparisons by two-way ANOVA for unbalanced data followed by Tukey-Kramer post-hoc tests. Data are means ± CI. (I) T50 decay of transients from low- and high-KmO2app groups as a function of cumulative O2. The decay of peaks at 10 μM O2 was the longest (p<0.0005, two-way ANOVA for unbalanced data followed by Tukey-Kramer post-hoc tests). Data are means ± CI. (J) Hill coefficient from the fits of cumulative COA phasic component vs. cumulative O2 (as in C) as a function of KmO2app (n = 14). The two variables negatively correlate (rspearman = −0.64, p=0.015), showing an exponential-like relationship (fitted initial amplitude of 1.27 ± 0.75, decay constant of 0.33 ± 0.62 μM−1 and offset of 0.97 ± 0.67). ***p<0.001.

Magnitudes refer to the highest phasic response divided by the maximal cumulative tonic response (Imax) from the respective simulated sensor calibration. (D) Blue trace represents the normalized maximal phasic response vs. tonic KmO2app and the orange trace refers to the level of saturation of the sensor's tonic response at which the maximal phasic peak occurs. Data were obtained from all combinations of coating thickness and enzyme concentration in B and C. (E) Concentration dynamics of Ch in the sensor coating as a function of distance from the electrode surface during a simulated calibration of a high enzyme-loaded sensor (coating thickness of 30 μm and enzyme concentration of 560 μM, same as the blue in A). Arrows indicate 5 μM O2 step increments in solution. (F) and (G) show time-courses of Ch and O2 concentration, respectively, at the electrode surface of sensors with different enzyme concentrations during simulated calibrations. Arrows indicate 5 μM O2 increments in solution. (H) Normalized profiles of phasic and tonic sensor responses as well as of concentrations of enzyme substrates and total reduced enzyme-bound complexes at the electrode surface as a function of O2 in solution. Data are from a simulated calibration of a sensor with a 30 μm coating and an enzyme concentration of 560 μM, upon 1 μM O2 step increases in solution. The ΔO2 is the initial rise in O2 following each O2 increment in solution (at a lag of 0.3 s).

Phasic COA and oxygen responses following SWRs jointly depend on their power and grouping.

Amplitude of ChOx activity and O2 transients as a function of SWR count in a 2 s time window, sorted by different percentile ranges of summed ripple power. The data was collected from three recording sessions. Statistic tests were performed by two-way ANOVA for unbalanced data following ART to account for non-gaussian distributions. In recording session 1, both SWR count and total ripple power significantly affected the amplitude of ChOx and O2 (p<0.0001 for count and F2,762 = 10.2 for count, p<0.001 and F2,762 = 8.24 for power in COA data; p<0.001 and F2,762 = 9.98 for count, p=0.004 and F2,762 for power in O2 data). The same applied for recording 2 (p<0.0001 and F2,803 = 14.35 for count, p<0.0001 and F2,803 = 12.3 for power in COA data; p<0.0001 and F2,803 = 16.9 for count, p<0.0001 and F2,803 = 12.1 for power in O2 data). As for recording session 3, the SWR count effect was significant for both sensor signals (p<0.0001 and F2,618 = 11.3 for COA; p=0.032 and F2,618 = 3.47 for O2) and the summed ripple power significantly affected O2 (p=0.016 and F2,618 = 4.14), but was not consistently related to ChOx transients amplitude (p=0.07, F2,618=2.71).

Exogeneous O2 elicits phasic COA responses in the hippocampus in vivo.

(A) Representative examples of slow and fast O2 transients and associated COA responses evoked by local application of exogenous O2 from a glass micropipette. (B) Amplitudes of COA vs. locally evoked O2 transients. Data are from three recordings (color-coded, n = 13–40 per session). Amplitudes were significantly correlated when pooling all data (rspearman = 0.81, p<0.0001) and within two sessions (p=0.0017 and p<0.0001, analysis not performed in one session due to the narrow range of O2 amplitudes covered). (C) Ratio of COA vs. evoked O2 peak amplitudes as a function of O2 signal rise time. Colors denote recording sessions and trendlines are linear fits performed on data from each session. In all cases, the variables were negatively correlated (p=0.037, p<0.0001, and p<0.001 for each session). (D) Lag of COA relative to locally evoked O2 transient peaks as a function of O2 rise time. Lags significantly decreased with O2 rise time in all sessions (rspearman for each recording ranged from −0.76 to −0.88, p<0.001). (E) Representative traces showing slow and fast transients evoked by O2 inhalation. E-H plots are analogous to A-D, but for O2-inhalation-induced O2 transients. (F) Amplitudes of COA vs. O2 transients. Data were obtained from three recordings (color-coded, n = 8–40 per session).

Variables were negatively correlated (red and yellow sessions, with rspearman of −0.66 and −0.86 respectively, p<0.0001 and p=0.011). (H) Lags of COA relative to O2 peaks significantly decreased as a function of O2 rise time (red and yellow sessions, rspearman of −0.58 and −0.90 respectively, p<0.0001 and p=0.0046). Analysis in F-H not performed in one session (blue dots) due to insufficient coverage of O2 amplitudes and rise times.
