Abstract
► Calcium sensors STIM1 and STIM2 are present in neurons and astrocytes. ► Inhibition of SOCE reduces steady-state calcium in neurons but not in astrocytes. ► Inhibition of SOCE dampens and synchronizes network activity in multi-electrode arrays. ► STIM1 and STIM2 are increased in brains of chronic epileptic rodents. ► Inhibition of SOCE in chronic epileptic hippocampal slices rhythmizes epileptic bursts.
