Figure 2

Alteration of spontaneous firing patterns in CeA neurons in SNL-induced anxiety rats. (A): representative of four different firing patterns of CeA neurons recorded in spontaneous discharges mode under whole-cell current-clamp recording. (B): proportions of four firing patterns in the CeA neurons in na''ve, sham and SNL rats, respectively. Note that the proportion of burst firing is increased significantly in SNL rats compared to na''ve and sham rats. However, the proportion of multispike and tonic firing neurons are decreased relatively compared to na''ve and sham rats. N = 50 cells from 7 na''ve rats, 45 cells from 6 sham rats, and 54 cells from 8 SNL rats, respectively.
