Figure 4.
Activity of units displayed at 10-min (A) or 1-min intervals (B) normalized to the respective vehicle intervals, and changes after medullary administration of sodium sulfide (Na2S). (A) The whole sample of 11 units showed no significant change in activity after local administration of Na2S onto the spinal medulla. When each single unit was evaluated separately (one-way ANOVA at minute intervals), the neuronal activity of six units was increasing after Na2S but not after vehicle administration. (B) Higher resolution revealed increased activity (*) in the group of activated units in minutes 5–7 after starting Na2S administration compared to the 10-min interval before Na2S infusion (ANOVA with repeated measures).
