E. faecium + Inulin supplementation modifies the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)/AMPA ratio of CA1 PCs. (A) Representative traces (averaged from five continuous sweeps) obtained in voltage clamp mode acquired at −70 mV and +40 mV showing the typical AMPA- and NMDA-mediated response in control and in the E. faecium + Inulin supplemented group. The box plots in the right panel summarize the changes in the NMDA/AMPA ratio of the two experimental groups. (B) Bar graphs of the average Rise time and decay time of the evoked responses acquired at −70 mV in voltage clamp mode (n = 14 cells/3 animals for control condition and 15 cells/6 animals for the symbiotic group). The animals supplemented with E. faecium + Inulin exhibited an increase in the decay time of the excitatory responses. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
