Figure 1. The effects of NYT on the resting membrane potential of VTA and SNpc DAergic neurons. (A) The representative resting membrane potential recording of a VTA DAergic neuron. (B) The effect of NYT on the resting membrane potential of VTA DAergic neurons (n = 11 from eight mice). (C) The representative resting membrane potential recording of an SNpc DAergic neuron. (D) The effect of NYT on the resting membrane potential of SNpc DAergic neurons (n = 10 from seven mice). Error bars are expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical analyses were performed by one-way RM ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; Baseline vs. NYT. The bars indicate the duration of the NYT application.
