Correlation of biophysical and synaptic properties with long-term sensitization training
| Correlate | Correlation coefficient (r) | |
|---|---|---|
| Synaptic strength of SN–MN synapse | 0.59 | F(1,13) = 7.02* |
| Afterdepolarization (50 msec) of SN spike | 0.32 | F(1,15) = 1.69 |
| Resting membrane potential of MN | 0.25 | F(1,16) = 1.04 |
| Threshold membrane potential of MN | 0.19 | F(1,12) = 0.44 |
| Afterdepolarization (1 sec) of SN burst | 0.02 | F(1,17) = 0.007 |
| Excitability (1 sec) of SN | 0.009 | F(1,16) = 0.001 |
Individual measurements in ganglia from the sensitized side of the animal were correlated with the amplitude of the behavioral change (post/pre) on the same side, using standard linear regression.
*The slope of the regression line was significantly different from 0 (p < 0.02).
