Switching effect of 5-HT on the induction of LTP in the rat visual cortex. (A) The effect of the TBS of layer 4 (indicated with arrow) on layer 2/3 FP in control slices (open circle, n=10) and in 5-HT-perfused slices (closed circle, n=10) from 5-week-old rats. The right panel shows the representative average traces in a slice marked with corresponding symbols, which were taken at the time period indicated with corresponding numbers. Scales represent 0.4 mV and 2 ms, respectively. (B) The effect of the TBS of layer 4 (indicated with arrow) on layer 2/3 FP in control slices (open circle, n=11) and in 5-HT-perfused slices (closed circle, n=12) from 8-week-old rats. The right panel shows the representative average traces in a slice marked with corresponding symbols, which were taken at the time period indicated with corresponding numbers. Scales represent 0.4 mV and 2 ms, respectively. (C) Age-dependent inhibition and facilitation of layer 2/3 LTP induction induced by TBS to layer 4 in the rat visual cortex. Numbers of the experiments are from 5 to 12. **p<0.01 and ***p<0.001 compared with the corresponding control.
