Figure 6. Furfuryl alcohol attenuates blue-light potentiation.
A, sample trace showing blue-light potentiation in the presence of 0.02% v/v furfuryl alcohol co-applied with 300 nm C2-NBD 3α5αP. B, summary bar graph of blue-light potentiation in the presence and absence of furfuryl alcohol (FFA). Error bars represent s.e.m. Baseline response is 100% (dashed line). Potentiated currents from both control and FFA-treated neurons were significantly different from current prior to activation of the light (paired t test, P < 0.05). Potentiation of FFA-treated neurons was statistically significantly less than control potentiation (Student's t test, P < 0.05). Recordings were performed with CsMeSO4 internal solution at −60 mV in cultured hippocampal neurons.
