Controlled cortical impact (CCI) fails to alter excitatory postsynaptic currents. (A) Voltage‐clamp recordings of spontaneous postsynaptic current (sEPSC) in control or CCI‐injured animals. (B) Overlayed and amplitude‐scaled average sEPSC recorded from control (black) and CCI (red) animals. (C) and (D) Average sEPSC properties are plotted for control (n = 20) and CCI (n = 24). No statistical difference was found for sEPSC properties including interevent interval (P = 0.28), amplitude (P = 0.75), charge transfer (P = 0.70) or decay (P = 0.77). Vhold = −70 mV.
