Figure 9

(a–c) Hlf overexpression decreases the amplitude but does not affect the frequency of spontaneous currents under basal conditions. (a) Representative traces (sPSCs). (b) (left) Cumulative amplitude distributions for sPSCs. 64.3% of simulated samples had a p-value < 5%. Inset: Mean spontaneous currents. (right) Cumulative interevent interval distributions for sPSCs. 20.7% of simulated samples had a p-value < 0.05. (c) Density plot of sPSCs (left) amplitudes and (right) interevent intervals. (d) Decay kinetics of sPSCs. (e,f) Hlf overexpression reduces the frequency of spontaneous excitatory currents in the presence of bicuculline and glutamate (BIC+GLU). (e) Representative sPSCs traces. (f) (left) Cumulative amplitude distributions for sPSCs. 67.6% of simulated samples had a p-value < 0.05. (right) Cumulative interevent interval distributions for sPSCs. 72.6% of the simulated samples had a p-value < 0.05. Inset: Mean spontaneous currents. (g) Density plot of sPSCs (left) amplitudes and (right) interevent intervals. (h) No significant differences were observed in decay kinetics between groups (i,j) There are no differences in action potential number between neurons transduced with AAV-EGFP or a AAV-HLF in basal conditions or in the presence of bicuculline and glutamate. (i) representative action potential (AP) traces fired by a current step of 250 nA in (left) basal conditions and (right) in the presence of BIC+GLU. (j) Left panel: AP number. Right panel: AP amplitude. AAV-EGFP: black traces and dots. AAV-HLF: magenta traces and dots.
