  • Between genotypes:

  • * p < 0.05; within genotype (control vs AP5):

  • F2-214 p< 0.001,

  • F2-159 p < 0.05.

  • mEPSCs were recorded in CA1 pyramidal cells in TTX (1 μm), bicuculline (10 μm), and glycine (10 μm) at −70mV in 0.1 mmMg2+. The effect of AP5 (30 μm) was studied in 2-week-old wild-type (WT) and NR2AΔC/ΔC mice. Values are mean ± SEM. Numbers of recorded cells and analyzed animals (in parentheses) are indicated. Statistical significance was weighted by a two-samplet test between wild-type and NR2AΔC/ΔC mice (*) or between control and AP5-containing solution within one genotype (#).
