  • Values (mean ± SEM) significantly different from the control (solvent treated BLA principal cells of the respective genotype) are indicated with *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 (Student's unpaired t test). Numbers of recorded neurons are given in parentheses. Bold indicates control values.
