Figure 3. The LTP is enhanced in the VPA offspring at the thalamic–amygdala synapses.
(A) Sample traces are the averaged EPSCs taken before (1) and 40 min after (2) LTP induction in the saline (n = 6) and VPA (n = 6) offspring. Scale; 50 ms, 40 pA. (B) LTP in the LA neurons was induced by pairing pre-synaptic stimulation (2 Hz, 200 pulses) with post-synaptic depolarization to −5 mV. The amplitude of individual EPSCs was normalized to the averaged amplitude of EPSCs during the 5-min baseline recordings just before LTP induction. *p<0.05; scale 50 ms, 40 pA.
