Phytocannabinoid responses in autaptic hippocampal neurons. Values for EPSC inhibition in response to longest depolarization (10 s) for baseline and given phytocannabinoid. Paired t-test was used to compare maximal inhibition at 10 s depolarization vs. baseline in a given cell. Effective dose 50 (ED50, with 95% confidence interval) for depolarization-response curves indicating duration of depolarization that gave a 50% maximal response for the phytocannabinoids tested. None of the phytocannabinoids significantly altered the ED50.
