This collection of data sets was obtained during a study of the effect of acute ethanol intoxication on vigilance-dependent astroglia network activation in mice. The main findings have been that ethanol inhibits astroglia activation by inhibiting vigilance-dependent norepinephrine release. This leads to a failure of activation of alpha_1A-adrenergic receptors on astroglia. Further, this study has revealed that ethanol inhibition of cerebellar Bergmann glia Ca²⁺ activation does not account for ataxic motor behavior, but may rather contribute to cognitive deficits.

The majority of data were acquired using two-photon Ca²⁺ imaging in awake behaving mice on a motorized linear treadmill, or in acute cerebellar slices. The data have been processed using MATLAB scripts. The study also includes quantification of motor coordination using the Catwalk XT system.

All data are contained in one Excel file. The data of individual figures or supplementary figures have been organized into corresponding tabs. Within each tab the data are organized according to figure sub-panels. Annotations allow clear association of raw data with individual figure sub-panels (each dot within data plots is accounted for by its value in the Excel file). Statistical test results have been included with a mentioning of the type of test used.
