Note: *Statistically different from baseline. Baseline versus 0.1 mA stimulus: Area (one-way ANOVA; DF = [1, 16], F ratio = 11.7, P = 0.03); duration (one-way ANOVA; DF = [1, 16], F ratio = 14.9, P = 0.01). Baseline versus 0.5 mA stimulus: Vup − Vdwn (Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA on Ranks test; diff. of ranks = 5.6, Q = 2.2, P < 0.05); area (DF = [1, 18]; F ratio = 23.6; P < 0.001); duration (one-way ANOVA; DF = [1, 18]; F ratio = 20; P < 0.001). Baseline versus 1 mA stimulus: Vup − Vdwn (one-way ANOVA; DF = [1, 14], F ratio = 14.7, P = 0.02); Area (Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA on Ranks test; diff. of ranks = 8.5, Q = 3.2, P < 0.05); duration (Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA on Ranks test; diff. of ranks = 7.9, Q = 2.9, P < 0.05); % time (Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA on Ranks test; diff. of ranks = 7.6, Q = 2.8, P < 0.05).
Statistically different from baseline. Baseline versus 1 mA stimulus: Area (DF = [1, 11]; F ratio = 5.5; P < 0.05); Duration (Fig. 8B,C) (DF = [1, 10]; F ratio = 5.6; P < 0.05); % Time (DF = [1, 11]; F ratio = 5.2; P < 0.05); # Events/min (DF = [1, 11]; F ratio = 7.7; P < 0.05); Frequency (DF = [1, 11]; F ratio = 7.7; P < 0.05).
Statistically different: baseline of dNIB versus baseline of NIB. Vup − Vdwn (one-way ANOVA; DF = [1, 20]; F ratio = 25.8; P < 0.001); Area (one-way ANOVA; DF = [1, 21]; F ratio = 13.7; P = 0.001). None of the parameters of the NIB neurons were significantly altered by EC stimulation (pre versus poststimulus, one-way ANOVA; P > 0.05).
In all PSTHs, the dotted line indicates delivery of the stimulus pulse.
