Blockade of synaptic GABAARs does not enhance plasticity with 10 Hz stimulation. A, Selectively blocking synaptically expressed GABAARs with SR-95531 (5 μm) did not enhance synaptic potentiation in WT (n = 8) or α5 null mutant (Gabra5−/−) (n = 8) slices. B, A summary of changes in synaptic responses after 10 Hz stimulation. These data represent the average of the last 5 min of recording for each slice in each group. C, The IPSP (black) was blocked with SR-95531 before (light blue) and after (red) 10 Hz stimulation, which indicates that synaptic GABAARs could not account for the differences in plasticity at this frequency. D, Average data showing the raw amplitudes of the IPSP at baseline (without SR-95531), with SR-95531, and after 10 Hz stimulation for WT (n = 6) and Gabra5−/− (n = 6) cells. *p < 0.01.
