Single-prolonged stress (SPS) did not change neuronal excitability of basolateral amygdala (BLA) neurons from male (A–C) or female (D–F) rats. Representative action potential firing in BLA neurons from rats in the unstressed control (Control, A,D) and single prolonged stress (SPS, B,E) conditions. Action potentials were elicited form a holding potential of –60 mV by a series of depolarizing current steps. Responses to –50 pA hyperpolarizing current (black), 150 pA (blue) and 300 pA (red) depolarizing current are shown in (A,B) (Male). Responses to –50 pA hyperpolarizing current (black), 200 pA (blue), and 300 pA (red) depolarizing current are shown and (D,E) (Female). Peaks of the action potentials are truncated at +30 mV. Summary data from all neurons are show in (C) (Males: Control, N = 13; SPS, N = 7) and (F) (Females: Control, N = 12; SPS, N = 8). Data are show as mean ± SEM. Two-way ANOVA revealed no significant main effects of sex or SPS, and no sex × SPS interaction (see text for details).
