Fig 5. Ethanol does not significant affect the firing frequency and the membrane potential response to current injection.

Fig 5

A, representative traces illustrating the changes in GoC firing activity that were elicited by steps of depolarizing current injection (2 and 10 pA, 500 ms square steps) in the absence (control) and presence of ethanol. B, Average GoC current-frequency plots obtained under control conditions and in presence of 40 mM ethanol (n = 7). C, representative traces illustrating the changes in the membrane potential (MP) of GoCs that were elicited by steps of depolarizing current injection (2 and 10 pA, 500 ms square steps) in the absence (control) and presence of ethanol. D, Average GoC current-MP plots obtained under control conditions and in presence of 40 mM ethanol (n = 5). All results shown in this figure were obtained in the perforated-patch current-clamp configuration in presence of gabazine (10 μM), kynurenate (1 mM), D,L-APV (50 μM), strychnine (1 μM), CGP 54626 (10 μM), LY 341495 (1 μM) and TTX (0.5 μM).
