Ethanol (EtOH, 30 mM) had no conclusive effect on membrane properties of BLA neurons from SPS-treated male or female rats.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EtOH | Male | Female | Male | Female | Male | Female |
| Control | −64 ± 4 | −63 ± 2 | 117 ± 9 | 135 ± 28 | 21 ± 3 | 14 ± 3 |
| EtOH | −52 ± 8 | −58 ± 5 | 108 ± 8 | 156 ± 39 | 14 ± 2 | 13 ± 3 |
Data shown are membrane potential (RMP), input resistance (Rin), and the membrane time constant (tau, τ) for Male and Female rats, both before (Control) and during superfusion of ethanol (EtOH, 30 mM). ANOVA revealed no significant main effects or interaction for any of the variables examined. See text for details. Data are shown as mean ± SEM from N = 3 BLA neurons from SPS-treated male rats, and N = 5 BLA neurons from SPS-treated female rats.
