Fig. 2.
Monosynaptic NTS responses. Ten evoked excitatory postsynaptic current (evEPSC) traces demonstrating low jitter characteristic of a monosynaptic NTS synapse. The average latency of these ten traces is 3.18 ms. Shock artifacts have been digitally truncated. Inset: jitter observed at a faster sweep speed; scale bar for inset is 100 μs. The SD of the latency of these evEPSCs = 64 μs, well under the 200-μs cut-off used to define a monosynaptic connection in the NTS.
