Figure 2. Dehydration increases intraburst firing rate of phasic vasopressin neurones.

Figure 2

A–C, the mean intraburst firing rate (A), burst duration (B) and interburst interval (C) of 17 phasic vasopressin neurones from Fig. 1, recorded from euhydrated rats (n= 9) and dehydrated rats (n= 8) rats (**P < 0.05 compared to euhydrated, unpaired t test). D and E, intraburst firing rate (in 1 s bins, and aligned to peak intraburst firing) expressed in spikes per second (D) and as the percentage of maximum firing rate (E), showing that dehydration causes a proportionately similar increase in intraburst firing rate throughout bursts.
