Reduced excitability of mesolimbic dopaminergic neurons in Rasgrf2−/− mice relies on ERK-dependent modulation of IA currents. (A) Sample traces and pooled data of current injection evoked action potentials in mutant and WT mouse brain slices (n = 5–7). A two-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of genotype (F1,12 = 5.09, P < 0.05). (B) Sample traces and pooled data of action potentials obtained on current injections in slices pretreated with ERK inhibitors. A two-way ANOVA revealed a significant treatment effects of inhibitors PD098059 (F1,17 = 6.4, P < 0.05) and SL327 (F1,15 = 4.9, P < 0.05; n = 7–8). (C) IA measured in WT brain slices pretreated with the ERK inhibitor or vehicle (t19 = 3.1, P < 0.01; n = 7–10).
