Figure 4. EtOH-induced potentiation of tonic currents is TTX-sensitive in pre-weanlings.
Exemplar traces of the effect of TTX on (A) tonic currents and (B) sIPSC frequency and amplitude. (C) TTX significantly decreased tonic current amplitude (* - p < 0.05 compared to 0) and sIPSC frequency in pre-weanlings (** - p <0.001). (D) The significant EtOH (80 mM)-induced potentiation of tonic currents was abolished in the presence of TTX (* - p < 0.05 compared to 0). (E) The significant EtOH (80 mM)-induced increase of sIPSC frequency was abolished in the presence of TTX (* - p < 0.05 compared to 0). TTX – tetrodotoxin.
