Spontaneous neuronal activity in the ZI in sham-treated and CCI rats.

Notes: (A) ZI is shown in the schematic diagram of a coronal section. (B) Overall thalamic neuronal activity in sham-treated and CCI rats. (C) Injection of high concentrations of GABAA agonist and antagonist into the ZI changed the firing rate (spikes/s) for 30 min in sham-treated animals. (D) Firing rate increased after injection of GABA agonist in CCI rats. PSTH shows firing rate as time progresses after injection of GABAA agonist (E) and GABAA antagonist (F) in CCI rats. In total, 12 rats were used in the current analysis. One-way ANOVA was used to compare each data point with saline-baseline. *P<0.05. Sham-treated (n=6); CCI (n=6).

Abbreviations: ANOVA, analysis of variance; CCI, chronic constriction injury; GABA, gamma-aminobutyric acid; PSTH, peristimulus time histogram; ZI, zona incerta.
