Conductance–voltage data were fitted with a Boltzmann equation to estimate the potential at which half-maximal conductance was activated (V1/2) and sloped. Student's t test was used to assess differences in current properties.

* Indicates a significant difference between V1Gi-DREADD and littermate controls where *p < 0.05,

**p < 0.01.
