Blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) prevented the chronic ethanol exposure-induced enhancement of facial stimulation-evoked MF–GC synaptic transmission. (A) Representative field potential traces showing that the air-puff stimuli (10 ms, 60 psi; 5 pulse, 20 Hz) on the ipsilateral whisker pad evoked field potential responses recorded from the GL of control (upper) and ethanol-exposed (lower) mice in treatments with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF), D-APV (250 μM), and recovery (washout). (B) Summary of data showing the absolute amplitudes of N1–N5 in treatments with ACSF, D-APV, and recovery (washout) in control mice. (C) Summary of data showing the absolute amplitudes of N1–N5 in treatments with ACSF, D-APV (250 μM), and recovery (washout) in ethanol-exposed mice. (D) A bar graph showing the mean amplitude of peaks recorded in the presence of ACSF in control and ethanol-exposed mice. (E) A bar graph showing the mean amplitude of peaks recorded in the presence of D-APV in control and ethanol-exposed mice. (F) A bar graph with individual data (Symbols of different colors) showing the normalized amplitude of N2 in control and ethanol-exposed (EtOH) mice in treatments with ACSF, D-APV, and recovery (washout). (G) A bar graphs with individual data (Symbols of different colors) showing the normalized AUC of N2 in control and ethanol-exposed (EtOH) mice in treatments with ACSF, D-APV, and recovery (washout). n = 10 in each group. *P < 0.05 vs. ACSF; #P < 0.05 vs. control.
