The evoked excitatory postsynaptic current (eEPSC) is significantly different across stimulus intensities, experimental groups and the interaction of these two (two-way analysis of variance; p<0.05). (A) Examples of responses to extracellular stimulation (averages of three sweeps, for 2×, 4×, and 8×) for control (1), 1 d axotomized (2), 2 d axotomized (3), 1 d intact (4), and 2 d intact (5). (B) Control cells often had a late “notch” (arrowhead) in the evoked response, while in some cells of injured cortex this second peak (arrowhead) was larger than the earlier peak. Shown are single sweep examples from control (1); 1 d axotomized (2); 2 d axotomized (3); 1 d intact (4); and 2 d intact (5). Scalebar in B is 400 pA for 1–3, 5 and 800 pA for 4. (C) Mean peak of the eEPSC versus stimulus intensity level. Note control error bars are present in white, but smaller than mean symbol. N=10 control, eight 1 d axotomized, five 2 d axotomized, four 1 d intact, and four 2 d intact cells.
