Acute ethanol application increases action potential-dependent and -independent GABA release in both naive and CIE rats. A: Representative sIPSCs from CeA neurons of naive (top) and CIE (bottom) rats in control conditions and during ethanol (EtOH; 44 mM) application. B: Ethanol significantly (*p<0.05) increased the mean sIPSC frequency in CeA neurons of both naive and CIE rats. Ethanol did not alter the amplitudes, and rise and decay times of sIPSCs in either group. C: Representative mIPSCs from CeA neurons of naive (top) and CIE (bottom) rats in control conditions and during EtOH application. D: Ethanol significantly (*p<0.05) increased the mean mIPSC frequency in CeA neurons of both naive and CIE rats, without altering the amplitudes, and rise and decay times in either group.
