CRF mediates the phase/amplitude coupling during stressor. A, upper traces, Examples of fast ripple activity and θ band in control, CP 154526, and after 24-h drug wash out from TBI rats under stress filtered into θ (3–8 Hz, blue) and fast ripples (250–500 Hz, red) bands. B, Comparison of MIs between low-frequency phase on x-axis and higher frequency amplitude between 250 and 500 Hz on y-axis. Fast ripples (>250 Hz) are significantly and highly coupled over the frequency bins corresponding to θ rhythm. Ripple activity is also coupled to a lesser extent in the same range. This relationship is abolished by CRFR1 antagonism. Very low-frequency activity (2–4 Hz) is apparently coupled over a wide range of high-frequency activity. The MI values corresponding to this coupling during antagonist are below chance. After 24 h, the PAC returned.
