Figure 2.
NMDA receptor transmission is decreased in the CEm neurons of BDNFMet/Met mice. (a) Frequency, amplitude, and decay time of NMDA mEPSCs in BDNFVal/Val (9 neurons/3 mice) and BDNFMet/Met (10 neurons/4 mice) groups. Upper panel shows examples of NMDA mEPSCs. Lower right panel shows event histogram for mEPSC amplitude. NMDA EPSC amplitude (b) and decay time (c) in BDNFVal/Val (7 neurons/3 mice) and BDNFMet/Met (8 neurons/3 mice) groups. Left panel shows examples of EPSCs evoked by 150 μA stimulation. (d) Paired pulse ratio of NMDA EPSCs in BDNFVal/Val (10 neurons/4 mice) and BDNFMet/Met (9 neurons/3 mice) groups. Asterisk denotes a statistically significant difference.
