The mu-opioid receptor (MOR) antagonist CTOP abolishes fentanyl-mediated inhibition of facial stimulus-evoked responses in PCs. (A) Upper, example responses of a PC to air-puff stimulation (60 ms, 60 psi) in ACSF, CTOP, and CTOP (5 μM) + fentanyl (5 μM); lower, enlarged traces from the upper panel showing the effects of ACSF, CTOP (5 μM) and CTOP (5 μM) + fentanyl (5 μM) on sensory-evoked responses. (B) Left, summarized results showing the time course of 5 μM CTOP-induced changes in the amplitude of P1 (n = 6); Right, pooled data (n = 6) showing the time course of fentanyl-induced changes in the amplitude of P1 in the presence of CTOP. (C,D) Summarized data showing the normalized pause (C) and frequency (D) of SSs in ACSF, CTOP (5 μM), and CTOP (5 μM) + fentanyl (5 μM). (E,F) The bar graph shows the effects of CTOP (5 μM) and CTOP (5 μM) + fentanyl (5 μM) induced changes on the normalized amplitude (E) and AUC (F) of P1. *P < 0.05 vs. ACSF group.
