SCFA treatment improved synaptic deficits in CeA neurons in cognitively compromised pain rats. AC Effect of the SCFAs intervention on the spontaneous synaptic transmission of excitatory neurons in pain-induced cognitive deficits rats. A Current-clamp recordings to identify excitatory neurons in the CeA. B Examples of mEPSCs of excitatory neurons recorded from the six groups. C Bar graphs showing the frequency and the amplitude of mEPSCs in CeA excitatory neurons. N = 5 rats for each group. DF Effect of the SCFA intervention on the spontaneous synaptic transmission of CeA inhibitory neurons in slices. D Current-clamp recordings to identify inhibitory neurons in the CeA. E Examples of mEPSCs of inhibitory neurons recorded from the six groups. F Bar graphs showing the frequency and the amplitude of mEPSCs in the inhibitory neurons. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM; n = 5 rats for each group. Tukey’s post hoc tests; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
