Figure 3. Delayed eyelid opening extends the ACx CP of sensitivity to hearing loss.

Figure 3

(a) Diagram shows the experimental design for data presented in b–f. Eyes were glued shut until P23 and earplugs were inserted on P19, 20, 21 or 22 and maintained until the day of recording (P29–P35). Sample size; IPSCs: Control, n=40; EP19, n=15; EP20, n=14; EP21, n=11; EP22, n=22. (b–d) Bar plots show that delayed eyelid opening led to decreased sIPSC amplitude and frequency, as well as slower decay time constants when ears were plugged at P19–P20, but not P21–P22. (e,f) Bar plots show that delayed eyelid opening led to decreased meIPSC amplitude and depressed PPRs when ears were plugged at P19–P20, but not P21–P22. Experiments were not replicated. Tukey's (honestly significant different) test, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001. Error bars are s.e.m.
