Figure 9. Preincubation of PVN slices in 200 nM oxytocin failed to produce a shift in neuronal gain comparable to that observed in salt loaded animals.

Figure 9.

A-B) Illustrate representative data obtained from a cell incubated in control conditions (CNTRL) vs. in 200 nM oxytocin (OXT), respectively. Top trace illustrates firing observed in response to a +30 pA current injection delivered either in isolation, or after a −50 pA hyperpolarizing pulse, exactly as in Fig. 6. The lower trace illustrates the current injected. C) Complete neuronal gain curves constructed from cells recorded as in panels A-B indicate that preincubation in 200 nM oxytocin failed to alter neuronal gain. The gain curve observed in PVN CRH neurons from animals treated with isotonic saline from Fig. 6, is plotted again in this panel (light blue) for comparison.
