Figure 5.

Representative traces of excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) and inhibitory post‐synaptic currents (IPSCs) from identified myelinated A‐ (A), Ah‐ (C_1‐3) and unmyelinated C‐type (B) baroreceptive neurons of nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). The dynamic changes in rise time, decay time, and mean amplitude were quantified in each tested afferent‐specified neurons and the differences between EPSC and IPSC in each category neurons were described in Table 1 20 μmol of NBQX and 100 μmol of Bicuculline were applied for selectively block the EPSCs and IPSCs, respectively. The representative recordings (D) of spontaneous synaptic currents from electrophysiologically and pharmacologically identified myelinated Ah‐type baroreceptive neuron of NTS. EPSCs and IPSCs were indicated as ▼ and ●, respectively; T_1‐5 presented as five consecutive episodes of recordings with 3‐sec interval. The scale bar in T₁ also applies for T₂‐T₅
