Figure 1

Effect of xenon on eEPSCs. A - Excitatory post synaptic currents evoked at holding potential (HP) = -70 mV by primary afferents electrical stimulation recruiting Aδ- (left) and C-fibres (right) before (black), during (dark grey) and after (light grey) xenon application. Five consecutive traces are shown for each modality. Note the decrease in amplitude during xenon application. B - Xenon reversibly decreased the mean amplitude of monosynaptic currents evoked by Aδ- (left, n = 10) and C- (right, n = 9) afferent fibre stimulation.
