Basal synaptic transmission and short-term plasticity in dorsomedial striatal slices from adult male and female rats. (a) Input/output (I/O) curve obtained by plotting the slope of fEPSPs as a function of the stimulation intensity (from 100 to 800μA) in the dorsomedial striatum. (b) Representative raw trace of paired-pulse from one control male (black, top trace) and one control female (gray, bottom trace) rat. Gray arrow in the top trace points to fiber volley and black arrow in the top trace points to fEPSPs. fEPSP slope was measured between the two red lines. (c) Paired-pulse ratio recorded from one interstimulus interval at 50 ms. Data are represented as mean±S.E.M.. Number of slices: n = 14 control male, n = 13 EtOH male, n = 9 control female, n = 8 EtOH female. #p < 0.05 significant interaction, %p < 0.05 main effect of EtOH, $p < 0.05 main effect of stimulus intensity by three-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05 vs. control group within each sex by Fisher’s LSD post-hoc tests.
