nervous system
• decreased firing probability of relay cells with higher stimulation frequency
• increased firing rate when the optic tract is stimulated more than 4 times
• however, firing rates are normal after a short stimulus trains
|
• smaller reduction in EPSC amplitude at the beginning of the stimulus train than in wild-type optic nerves
• however, steady-state ESPSC amplitudes when stimulated with 10 Hz is normal
|
• reduced amplitude normalized to NMDA currents in retinogeniculate and corticogeniculate synapses compared with wild-type synapses
|
• relay neurons fail to exhibit a strong depression of EPSP amplitudes in a current-clamp mode when the optic tract is stimulated ten times at 50 Hz
|
• of AMPAR-mediated currents in retinogeniculate synapses when stimulating the optic tract twice with different inter-stimulus intervals
• in retinogeniculate synapses stimulated with a Cs+ based solution
• however, paired pulse facilitation is normal in corticogeniculate synapses
