From: Oxytocin-induced antinociception in the spinal cord is mediated by a subpopulation of glutamatergic neurons in lamina I-II which amplify GABAergic inhibition

Figure 5

Effect of TGOT on the membrane potential (Em) of lamina II neurons. Raw traces illustrating the effect of TGOT (1 μM, black arrowhead) on two different lamina II neurons. In the vast majority (90%) of lamina II neurons (top trace), TGOT application had no apparent effect on Em. In a small number of neurons (10%), TGOT induced a transient depolarization which reached the threshold value for the emission of action potentials (bottom trace).
