Table 2.
mIPSC postsynaptic kinetic properties of CeM neurons across age and sex, reported as Mean (SEM). mIPSC area is significantly greater in adults than adolescents, while sex did not produce a statistically significant difference in either measure. Sex did influence rise time, with females demonstrating faster rise times than males in both age groups. Decay (τ) was not influenced by either age or sex.
| Area (pA*ms) ** | Rise time (ms) # | τ (ms) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adolescent Males (n=26) | 672.24 (39.34) | 1.33 (0.08) | 39.62 (2.26) |
| Adolescent Females (n=25) | 833.10 (54.28) | 1.21 (0.07) | 39.46 (3.26) |
| Adult Males (n=25) | 965.47 (50.73) | 1.37 (0.09) | 42.30 (3.54) |
| Adult Females (n=24) | 1009.60 (80.76) | 1.18 (0.06) | 38.20 (3.26) |
