Synaptic properties of the L10 → Ipc and the Ipc → L10 connections. (a) Brief electrical stimulation with a biphasic current pulse (200 μA, 500 μs) in tectal layer 10 evoked an EPSPs plus spikes or just EPSPs in the recorded Ipc neurons. Inset: Synaptic current recorded from an Ipc neuron in voltage clamp in response to electrical stimulation in tectal layer 10 with a train of 5 pulses of 20 ms interval. The membrane potential was held at −70 mV (scale bars = 20 ms, 200 pA). (b) Brief electrical stimulation in the Ipc nucleus evoked long-lasting EPSPs in recorded L10 neurons. Note the different scale bars in (a) and (b).
