Effect of AlstR activation on the firing frequency of post-inspiratory-modulated RVLM pre-sympathetic neuron recorded in situ. (A) Raw record of PN activity and whole cell current clamp recording of a post-inspiratory-modulated RVLM pre-sympathetic neuron from one in situ preparation of rat. Note that perfusion of Alst did not affect either the firing frequency or the post-inspiratory modulation of this pre-sympathetic neuron. (B) Whole cell current clamp recording of the same post-inspiratory-modulated pre-sympathetic neuron under blockade of fast synaptic transmission. Perfusion of Alst did not affect either the intrinsic pacemaker firing frequency or resting membrane potential. (C) The same post-inspiratory-modulated pre-sympathetic neuron labeled in situ with biocytin, depicting absence of either GFP or TH (a non-C1 neuron) immunofluorescence. Scale bar: 20 um.
