Heantos inhibits burst firing in VB thalamic neurons. a Representative voltage traces showing input-output response of the same VB thalamic neuron before (left) and after (right) application of Heantos (1 mg/ml). Lower panels show current injection protocol. Black traces show the threshold burst voltage and corresponding current injection. The same voltage traces are displayed at a higher time resolution of the region delineated by grey box for clarity. b Histograms summarizing mean burst threshold and c resting membrane potential before and after Heantos (1 mg/ml) or control (aCSF). d Histograms summarizing mean number of action potentials per burst and e input resistance for VB thalamic neurons before and after a 5 min application of aCSF (n = 5) or Heantos (1 mg/ml (n = 5))
