In contrast, NB+ cells displayed a positive trend ( p < .001), suggesting a slightly enhanced cAMP production in response to NA stimulation in the cell processes (Figure 6d , right). 4 DISCUSSION Previous studies on cultured astrocytes revealed that Ca 2+ signaling is phasic and fast, whereas cAMP signaling exhibits tonic and slower dynamics (Horvat et al., 2016 ), which was subsequently confirmed in an in vivo system (Oe et al., 2020 ), validating the use of cultured cells to study basic cell processes.
