Presynaptic input to and postsynaptic targets of dorsal horn Kcnip2GlyT2 neurons
(A) Spontaneous EPSCs in a Kcnip2GlyT2-tdTom neuron in the absence and presence of 20 μM icilin.
(B) Cumulative frequency distribution of EPSC interevent intervals.
(C) Anterograde tracing from Kcnip2GlyT2 neurons. Green (WGA)-only neurons are postsynaptic targets of Kcnip2GlyT2-tdTom neurons (red). Scale bar, 100 μm.
(D) Excitatory (Lmx1b) or inhibitory (Pax2) neurons postsynaptic to Kcnip2GlyT2-tdTom neurons.
(E) Retrograde labeling of lamina I spinoparabrachial neurons with tdTom and optogenetic stimulation of Kcnip2GlyT2 neurons.
(F) (Left) Representative IPSC traces of a lamina I spinoparabrachial neuron evoked by optogenetic stimulation of Kcnip2GlyT2 neurons. IPSCs were completely blocked by bicuculline (20 μM) and strychnine (0.5 μM). (Right) Group data, n = 6. Mean ± SEM.
