Toluene has no effects on measures of intrinsic excitability of PFC pyramidal neurons. (a) Representative example of action potentials evoked by direct injection of current into a patch-clamped PFC pyramidal neuron. (b) Traces from a control and toluene exposed neurons are superimposed to show lack of effect of 3 mM toluene on AP parameters. (c) Summary of effects of 3 mM toluene on resting membrane potential, action potential threshold, membrane resistance, number of spikes, spike rise time, or half width, as compared with baseline values. Data are mean (±SEM) from six neurons. The color reproduction of this figure available on the HTML full text version of the paper.
