The response kinetics of M71 cells depends on sensory experience and concentration. (A–C) Inward currents were elicited by acetophenone pulses at varying concentrations (in μM) under different conditions: closed (n = 5 cells from 3 animals), untreated (n = 8 cells from 5 animals), and open (n = 6 cells from 3 animals). The traces in each panel were from a single neuron. The holding potential was −65 mV for all neurons. (D) Summary of the rise and decay time under different conditions: closed, untreated, and open. Only two concentrations (10 and 100 μM) were plotted because 1 μM did not elicit measurable responses. (E) Comparison of individual parameters is performed by two-way ANOVA tests based on sensory input condition (coded as a categorical variable) and concentration (coded as an ordinal variable with level 1, 2 and 3 corresponding to 1, 10 and 100 μM, respectively). Significant p values are in BOLD.
