Figure 2. Maternal LG affects the amplitude of spontaneous postsynaptic currents in cortical layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons.

Figure 2

(A,B) Typical examples of evoked action potentials (A) and recordings of spontaneous postsynaptic currents (B) obtained from layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in the somatosensory cortex of male adult high and low LG rats. (C,D) Normalized cumulative frequency (C) and cumulative amplitude (D) of spontaneous events recorded from layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons. The amplitude distribution of high LG rats is shifted leftwards as compared to low LG rats (p<0.01, Kolgomorov-Smirnov test), whereas the frequency distributions do not differ significantly.
