Neurons with AVP-resistant ST-EPSCs have similar release characteristics to AVP-sensitive neurons. Second-order NTS neurons were identified by their latency and jitter characteristics. A, AVP-resistant neurons (n = 23) (Table 1) were indistinguishable from sensitive neurons in their frequency-dependent depression (left) or failure rates (right). B, The AVP-resistant group V–M relationship predicts a similar quantal size for EPSC1, and q decreased for EPSC2–5 in a similar manner to sensitive neurons (Fig. 5). Together with the results from AVP-sensitive neurons, these results demonstrate the selective expression of AVP receptors on limited presynaptic ST terminals in NTS.
