FIGURE 3

Homeostatic modulation of forebrain E-I balance via GABA transmission related to cognitive level and experience. (A) The Kir2.1 (+) mice show abnormal performance in a hidden platform version of the Morris water maze. The latency to reach a hidden platform is plotted against the blocks of trials. N = 8 mice per group, t-test, *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01. (B) The percentage of time spent in search of a hidden platform in the target quadrant during the probe trial, t-test, *p < 0.01. (C,D) Whole-cell patch clamp recordings from CA1 pyramidal neurons in the slices from the Kir2.1 (–) and the Kir2.1 (+) mice. Representatives and bar graph of the miniature excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs and mIPSCs). Data are mean ± SEM, (n = 10 recordings/4 mice per group, ANOVA, *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01).
