Membrane properties of inspiratory follower neurons are not affected by BDNF. (A) Intracellular recording from a rhythmic preBötC neuron (top traces) recorded simultaneously with integrated population activity (bottom traces) in control conditions (A1) and after 15 min exposure to 100 ng/mL BDNF (A2). (B) Bar histograms showing the mean values for membrane potential, membrane resistance and burst duration in control conditions (white bars) and in the presence of 100 ng/mL BDNF (black bars) obtained for eight neurons. Voltage stimulation protocol (V) used to evoke the Ih current (i) in control conditions (C1) and after 15 min exposure to BDNF (C2). (D) Graph of the Ih current amplitude vs. voltage. Mean curves were obtained from seven neurons and evoked currents were measured in control conditions (open circles) and after 15 min in the presence of 100 ng/mL BDNF (black circles). BDNF had no significant effect on any of the membrane properties tested. Int, integrated.
