Figure 8. Whisker tactile deprivation elevates the spike threshold potentials and refractory periods at GABAergic neurons of piriform cortex.

Figure 8

The measurement of spikes' threshold potential is showed by dash line in Fig. 2A. A) shows a measurement of refractory periods of spike-1 by two pulses at a GABAergic neuron from a control mouse (blue trace) and a whisker tactile deprivation (red trace). B) shows the statistical analyses of spikes' refractory periods at GABAergic neurons from controls (blue symbols) and whisker tactile deprivation (red symbols; n = 16, p<0.01). C) shows statistical analyses in the threshold potentials of sequential spikes at GABAergic neurons from controls (blue symbols) and whisker tactile deprivation (red symbols; n = 18, p<0.01).
