Postnatal development of the IA-task-induced synaptic plasticity. (A) Representative traces of mEPSCs and mIPSCs sequentially recorded in the same CA1 pyramidal neuron in the presence of tetrodotoxin (0.5 µM). Vertical bar = 20 pA; horizontal bar = 50 ms. (B) Two-dimensional plots of the mean mEPSC and mIPSC amplitudes in an individual neuron (upper panel), and results of the kernel density analysis visualizing the distribution of the appearance probability at any point (lower panel). (C) Two-dimensional plots of the mean mEPSC and mIPSC frequencies in an individual neuron (upper panel), and visualization of the kernel density distribution (lower panel). (D) Postnatal changes in the mean mEPSC (left) and mIPSC (right) amplitudes in untrained (gray) and trained (black) rats. The IA task increased mEPSC amplitude at 3 and 4 weeks and increased mIPSC amplitude at 4–8 weeks. (E) Postnatal changes in the mean mEPSC (left) and mIPSC (right) frequencies in untrained (gray) and trained (black) rats. The training increased the frequencies of both mEPSCs and mIPSCs at 3 and 4 weeks, and decreased these frequencies at 2 weeks. The numbers under the graphs indicate the number of neurons. The error bars indicate ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. untrained.
