NGF enhanced firing of tonic neurons, whereas Oxo-M and linopirdine enhanced both tonic and phasic neuronal excitability. (A) Effects of Oxo-M (10 μM, ∼1 min), linopirdine (30 μM, ∼1 min), and NGF (20 ng/ml, ∼2 min) on firing of action potentials from tonic neurons. Perforated patch method was used in these experiments. (B and C) Summary data for number of spikes fired and resting membrane potential of tonic neurons, respectively. (D and E) Summary data for number of spikes fired and resting membrane potential of phasic-1 neurons, respectively. (F and G) Summary for number of spikes fired and resting membrane potential of phasic-2 neurons, respectively. LP is abbreviation of linopirdine. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. Error bars indicate SEM.
