Shortening of the onset time of ischemia-induced inward currents by electrical stimulation. A). A sample trace shows ischemia-induced inward current in a lamina V neuron of a rat at the age of 9 days old. B). A sample trace shows ischemia-induced inward currents in a lamina V neuron of another rat at the age of 9 days old. In this experiment, capsaicin (2 μM) was applied in ischemic bath solution to the spinal cord slice preparation. C). Pooled results from experiments represented in A (open bar, n = 6) and B (solid bar, n = 4). All animals used were at the age of 9 days old.
