From: Antinociceptive action of oxytocin involves inhibition of potassium channel currents in lamina II neurons of the rat spinal cord

Figure 2

Oxytocin reduces the firing ability of lamina II neurons. A: Effects of TGOT (1 μM), a selective agonist of OT-receptor bath-applied for 15 minutes, on the different firing profiles expressed by lamina II neurons. Four different examples of firing profile conversion induced by TGOT. Diagram in the grey box gives the scheme of profile conversion observed after TGOT application. B: Example of a lamina II neuron exhibiting a repetitive profile that was not converted after a 15-min application of TGOT. Dashed lines represent -60 mV.
