Figure 5. Dopamine and Isoproterenol enhance spontaneous glutamatergic transmission via a presynaptic mechanism in the CeAL.

Figure 5

(A) top: example sEPSC traces during baseline and after 6 min bath application of dopamine. Bottom: Box-and-whisker plots summarizing of effects of DA on sEPSC frequency and kinetics. (B) top: example sEPSC traces during baseline and after 10 min bath application of the β-AR agonist, isoproterenol. Bottom: Box-and-whisker plots summarizing of effects of isoproterenol on sEPSC frequency and kinetics. (C) top: example sEPSC traces during baseline and after co- application of dopamine and isoproterenol. Bottom: Box-and-whisker plots summarizing of effects of DA+ISO on sEPSC frequency and kinetics. Dotted line indicates normalized baseline values. * indicates significant difference from baseline (p<0.05). Filled circle inside the box plot indicates the mean effect of drugs on sEPSC frequency.
