	Latency (ms)	Amplitude (mV)	Rise time (ms)	Half-width (ms)
Control EPSP	1.24 ± 0.14	5.49 ± 0.86	1.66 ± 0.21	2.89 ± 0.72
LD EPSP	1.35 ± 0.10	3.54 ± 0.96*	2.20 ± 0.20*	3.48 ± 0.99
HD EPSP	1.36 ± 0.13	0.68 ± 0.41*	2.50 ± 0.90*	6.68 ± 2.17*
Control IPSP	1.50 ± 0.23	4.20 ± 0.59	1.25 ± 0.23	2.22 ± 0.50
LD IPSP	1.62 ± 0.19	0.13 ± 0.04*	1.43 ± 0.28	2.10 ± 0.33
HD IPSP	1.40 ± 0.21	0.22 ± 0.12*	1.30 ± 0.74	2.36 ± 0.72

Values are means ± s.d. of antidromically identified abducens motoneurones. The number of cells analysed was 9, 7 and 5 for control, low-dose (LD) and high-dose (HD) groups, respectively. Asterisks indicate significant differences with respect to the control group (one-way ANOVA, P < 0.05).
