Electrophysiological properties of DA neuronal subpopulations in the medial VTA in SHAM and SNI groups. a Examples of AP firing patterns evoked by a 200 pA current step of different DA neuronal subpopulations in the medial VTA. b Electrophysiological properties of Delayed-nonaccommodating firing type DA neurons in SHAM versus SNI groups. c Electrophysiological properties of Irregular firing type DA neurons in SHAM versus SNI groups. d Representative current clamp traces showing the number of APs during a 150 pA current step in SHAM (upper) and SNI (lower) groups. Scale bar, 20 mV, 100 ms. Statistics, Mann-Whitney test. *, p < 0.05. Numbers in parentheses reflect numbers of cells and animals, and are presented as (N = cells/N = animals)
