Figure 11. No diurnal variation in excitatory drive to PV cells.

(A) Representative traces of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) onto PV cells in the light (left) or dark (right) phase. (B) sEPSCs onto PV cells were measured in the mouse PFC. There is no effect of phase on either sEPSC frequency (Main effect of phase: F(1,24)=0.003, p=0.96) (left) or sEPSC amplitude (Main effect of phase: F(1,24)=0.10; p=0.76)(right). n= 5–9 cells/group; 3–6 animals/group. PV=parvalbumin cells, sEPSC=spontaneous excitatory post synaptic current
