Intrinsic membrane properties of nAc dissociated neurons in WT and 2xTg mice. (a) Representative traces of current-clamp recordings after injecting 0, 25 and 50 pA current steps for WT (grey) and 2xTg mice (blue). (b) Relationship between the number of spikes generated and the injected current intensity for both conditions (F(1,123) = 12.1639, p = 1.38E-9; post-hoc test: with 25 pA, WT vs. 2xTg, p = 1.30E-3; with 50 pA, WT vs 2xTg, p = 7.5E-3). (c) Quantification of Rheobase constant (t(22) = 5.475, p = 1.67E-4), (d) input resistance (t(22) = 0.029, p = 0.97684) and action potential parameters: (e) amplitude (t(22) = 2.226, p = 0.036),(f) threshold (t(22) = 2.835, p = 0.009) and (g) half-width (t(22) = -0.894, p = 0.380). Scatter and bars graphs represent the average ± SEM. *denotes p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 (unpaired Student’s t-test for (cf) and (g) and two-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak’s post-hoc test for (b). Number of neurons: WT = 9 and 2xTg = 15. Neurons obtained in at least 4 independent experiments. Number of mice: WT = 5 and 2xTg = 4.
