Figure 6. Continuous exposure to ethanol in the medium alters depolarization-evoked calcium transients in axonal growth cones.

Figure 6

Plot of the mean peak fluorescence intensity in a ROI in the palm of the axonal growth cones of control neurons and of neurons maintained for 18–30 h in medium containing 22, 43 or 87 mM ethanol. Ethanol at 22 mM increases, and at 43 or 87 mM decreases KCl-induced Ca2+20. Data are the mean ± SEM peak total fluorescence from 17–19 growth cones in each treatment group, collected from at least 3 separate cultures. * P < 0.005, ** P < 0.0005; ANOVA with Newman-Keuls posthoc test.
