A: Representative mIPSC recordings in CeA neurons from msP, SD and Wistar rats in control condition, during application of 200 nM CRF, and washout. B: Mean ± SEM frequency of mIPSCs in CeA neurons from msP, SD and Wistar rats. CRF significantly (*p< 0.05; Student’s t-test) increased the mean mIPSC frequency in all three strains, suggesting increased presynaptic GABA release. C: Mean ± SEM amplitude of mIPSCs in CeA neurons from msP, SD and Wistar rats. CRF does not change the mean mIPSC amplitude.
