Figure 4. Effects of Acute Ethanol on GABAergic transmission in the BNST.

Figure 4

Acute ethanol (50 mm; 10 min) was applied to vBNST slices from 4- and 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice; evoked IPSCs were then recorded. A) Time course of IPSCs peak amplitude in 4- and 8-week-old mice. B) Representative traces of IPSCs before (black trace) and after (red trace) removal of ethanol in 4- and 8-week-old mice. C) Averaged peak amplitude of IPSCs for the first 5 min after ethanol exposure in 4- and 8-week-old mice. D) Time course of IPSCs area in 4- and 8-week-old mice. E) Averaged area of IPSCs for the first 5 min after ethanol exposure in 4- and 8-week-old mice. *p < 0.05. Horizontal bars in A and D indicate time over which the ethanol effect was calculated.
