Function of CP-AMPAR and NMDAR for the induction of extrasynaptic LTD in the LHb. (a) Left; While the application of ( +)­MK-801 (3 μM) completely suppressed LFS-induced LTD (95.1 ± 1.4%, n = 6), LFS steadily induced extrasynaptic LTD after the application of DL-TBOA (10 μM) (81.0 ± 4.0%, n = 6). Right; After the treatment of DL-TBOA without LFS, the change of amplitude showed a significant potentiation five minutes after the drug application of DL-TBOA but did not lead to the change of fEPSP slope. (b) LFS-induced LTD completely inhibited by the co-application of DL-TBOA with NASPM (20 μM; 97.5 ± 3.3%, n = 3), NVP­AAM 077 (0.1 μM; 100.6 ± 1.7%, n = 5), ifenprodil (0.1 μM; 100.6 ± 1.7%, n = 5). However, the co­application of DL-TBOA with LY367385 (100 μM) did not show any inhibitory effects on LFS-induced LTD (74.1 ± 3.7%, n = 3). (c) After MK-801 exposure, chemically NMDA-induced LTD was generated in aCSF containing low Mg2+ (0.5 mM) and glycine (10 μM) (69.9 ± 2.0%, n = 2).
