Astrocytes participate in brain functions through Ca2+ signals, including Ca2+ waves and Ca2+ oscillations. Currently the mechanisms of Ca2+ signals in astrocytes are not fully clear. Here, we present a computational model to specify the relative contributions of different Ca2+ flows between the extracellular space, the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum of astrocytes to the generation of spontaneous Ca2+ oscillations (CASs) and cortical spreading depression (CSD)-triggered Ca2+ waves (CSDCWs) in a one-dimensional astrocyte network. This model shows that CASs depend primarily on Ca2+ released from internal stores of astrocytes, and CSDCWs depend mainly on voltage-gated Ca2+ influx. It predicts that voltage-gated Ca2+ influx is able to generate Ca2+ waves during the process of CSD even after depleting internal Ca2+ stores. Furthermore, the model investigates the interactions between CASs and CSDCWs and shows that the pass of CSDCWs suppresses CASs, whereas CASs do not prevent the generation of CSDCWs. This work quantitatively analyzes the generation of astrocytic Ca2+ signals and indicates different mechanisms underlying CSDCWs and non-CSDCWs. Research on the different types of Ca2+ signals might help to understand the ways by which astrocytes participate in information processing in brain functions.
