Table 4.

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

Sex	AP threshold (mV)		AP amplitude (mV)		AP half-width (ms)		Spike latency (ms)
EtOH	Male	Female	Male	Female	Male	Female	Male	Female
Control	35 ± 1	27 ± 5	84 ± 6	73 ± 6	1.32 ± 0	1.68 ± 0.20	50 ± 15	98 ± 65
EtOH	29 ± 3	27 ± 4	67 ± 9	65 ± 4	1.48 ± 0.18	2.11 ± 0.26	40 ± 21	72 ± 28

Data shown are action potential (AP) threshold, action potential amplitude, action potential half-width and spike latency for male and female rats in both the Control and SPS conditions. ANOVA revealed one main effect of sex on action potential half-width, in which females have longer action potential half-widths compared to males (p < 0.05; see text for details). Data are shown as mean ± SEM.
