Characteristics of mEPSCs in ACC, basolateral amygdala, and spinal cord. A, Representative mEPSCs recorded at a holding potential of -70 mV from ACC, basolateral amygdala, and spinal cord neurons, respectively (left). Individual mEPSCs obtained from respective recordings (right). B-E, Bar graphs showing the averaged rate (B), amplitude (C), rise time (D), and decay time (E) in ACC (n = 12), basolateral amygdala (n = 14), and spinal cord neurons (n = 12), respectively. Note that the rate and amplitude of mEPSCs from ACC neurons are significantly lower than those from amygdala and spinal cord neurons. Also note that the decay time of mEPSCs from spinal cord neurons is significantly smaller than those from ACC and amygdala neurons. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
