BDNF enhanced non-NMDA receptor transmission in the IL-mPFC pyramidal neurons of wild-type mice but not BDNFMet/Met mice. A, Average non-NMDA EPSC amplitudes in the layer II/III pyramidal neurons from BDNF-treated (n = 6) and untreated wild-type brain slices (n = 10). BDNF treatment significantly enhanced non-NMDA receptor transmission in the wild-type neurons (F(1,14) = 14.7, p < 0.01). B, Average non-NMDA EPSC amplitudes in the layer II/III pyramidal neurons from BDNF-treated (n = 9) and untreated BDNFMet/Met brain slices (n = 7). BDNF treatment failed to enhance non-NMDA receptor transmission in the BDNFMet/Met neurons (p > 0.05). C, Average non-NMDA EPSC amplitudes in the layer V pyramidal neurons from BDNF-treated (n = 7) and untreated wild-type brain slices (n = 5). BDNF treatment significantly enhanced non-NMDA receptor transmission in the wild-type neurons at stimulation strength >250 μA (F(1,10) = 5.9, p < 0.05). D, Average non-NMDA EPSC amplitudes in the layer V pyramidal neurons from BDNF-treated (n = 6) and untreated BDNFMet/Met brain slices (n = 6). BDNF treatment failed to enhance non-NMDA receptor transmission in the BDNFMet/Met neurons (p > 0.05).
