Figure 4

Representative traces comparing spontaneous and evoked firings in mature granule cells of the control and SE groups. The CAG-GFP retroviral vector was injected into the dentate gyrus 5 days after pilocarpine-induced SE or saline injection. Brain slices were prepared at least 10 weeks after retroviral vector injections. (A) Fluorescent (GFP) and differential interference contrast (DIC) images show recorded cells from a control (Control) and a rat suffering from SE before retroviral vector injection. (B) Spontaneous firing recorded in cell-attached mode. Note that no spontaneous firings were noticeable. (C) Evoked firing recorded in whole-cell mode. The current injection traces are shown beneath the membrane potential traces. Note that a doublet of bursting is seen in response to 70 pA current injection in the SE rat.
