	sEPSCs				mEPSCs
	Frequency, Hz		Amplitude, pA		Frequency, Hz		Amplitude, pA
	Average	Range	Average	Range	Average	Range	Average	Range
Male (n = 15)	3.00 ± 0.81	0.37–11.87	10.98 ± 1.53	5.47–29.73	1.94 ± 0.31	0.29–5.43	8.47 ± 0.67	5.32–14.00

Values are means ± SE. DMH, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus; mEPSC, miniature excitatory postsynaptic current; sEPSC, spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic current; TRPV1, transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1.
