  • GABAA and glycine receptor-mediated sIPSCs were isolated pharmacologically with strychnine (0.5 μm) or bicuculline (5–10 μm), respectively. The frequency of GABAA sIPSCs decreased significantly after CCI (p = 0.02) and SNI (p < 0.0001). Numbers of neurons are indicated in parentheses.

  • F3-150 p < 0.05 compared with naive.
