Enhanced sIPSC frequency in VTA-projecting dlBNST neurons in rats exposed to CMS. a Stressor protocol. b Stress exposure schedule. c Schematic diagram of the sites for retrobead injections and patch clamp recordings (REC) from the neurons retrogradely labelled with retrobeads. d–f Representative traces (d), frequency (e), and amplitude (f) of sIPSCs in VTA-projecting dlBNST type III neurons in the NS and CMS groups. g, h The effects of NBI27914 on the frequency of sIPSCs in VTA-projecting dlBNST type III neurons in the NS (g) and CMS groups (h). i, j The effects of NBI27914 on the amplitude of sIPSCs in VTA-projecting dlBNST type III neurons in the NS (i) and CMS groups (j). Data are expressed as means ± standard error of the mean. ***P < 0.001 (unpaired t-test)
