OFC ITPC is increased by loss of corticohippocampal GluN2B.
(A) Low levels of OFC ITPC, with a positive ERP in
GluN2BFLOX and a negative ERP potential in GluN2BNULL,
were seen at correct choice decision during discrimination, with significantly
higher ITPC response in GluN2BNULL. Delta (1–6 Hz) power
slightly increased post ITPC response in both genotypes. (B) ITPC
increased in GluN2BNULL versus control during reversal session 1. ERP
potential shifts at the reward cue were no longer time locked. (C)
During the third reversal session GluN2BNULL had congruent levels of
ITPC and ERP with controls. (D) ITPC was significantly greater
during reversal session 4 than all other sessions in GluN2BFLOX and
mutant mice. While and ITPC responses appeared exaggerated in
GluN2BNULL during reversal session 4, these changes did not reach
significance. Additionally, there were no differences in ERP magnitude response.
(E) ITPC was significantly greater during chance reversal in
GluN2BNULL mice compared to controls. No significant differences
between genotypes were seen in ERP. (F) TF-ROI averaged ITPC
magnitude average during each session in the OFC. # Main effect of session
p < 0.05, * Significantly different between
genotypes p < 0.05. (G) dB change from
baseline power was not significantly different across sessions or between
genotypes. N = 8 mice per genotype/recording session. Event
related potential voltage is indicated by white line. Overall ITPC is shown via
heat map. Black outline denotes significant difference between genotypes in the
ROI (bottom row) or significant difference from all other sessions (top
row).
