Fig. 7From: Maternal sleep deprivation at different stages of pregnancy impairs the emotional and cognitive functions, and suppresses hippocampal long-term potentiation in the offspring ratsMaternal sleep deprivation impaired hippocampal LTP in vivo. a The plots of normalized slopes of fEPSPs showed that HFS (100 Hz for 1 s) induced a much smaller hippocampal LTP in the offspring of ESD (n = 6), MSD (n = 6) and LSD (n = 6) than control (n = 5). b The bar graph summarized the average percentage change of fEPSP slope immediately before and 55 min after HFS. * p < 0.05 vs. controlBack to article page
