Comparison of spontaneous vs. laser-evoked EPSC events in DRN GABA neurons.

	Rise (ms)	Amplitude (pA)	Decay (ms)	Area under curve (pA)
Spontaneous	1.92 ± 0.15	14.68 ± 1.61	3.74 ± 0.57	−57.68 ± 6.56
Laser-evoked	2.84 ± 0.14***	11.55 ± 1.43	4.66 ± 0.13*	−67.81 ± 9.37

Data are expressed as mean values ± s.e.m.

^*p < 0.05,

^***p < 0.001 values different from spontaneous EPSC events as determined by unpaired t-test.
