Fig. 1. Two representative examples of paired-pulse depression. (A) An unidentified
alpha lobe-extrinsic neuron. All double-pulse values are significantly
different from the single pulse value (P<0.001, post hoc
tests, main effect: F=33, d.f.=3, P<0.001, N=43,
values are means ± S.D.). (B) A PE1 neuron. All values are
significantly different from the single-pulse value
(*P<0.001, post hoc tests, main effect:
F=55.38, d.f.=4, P<0.001, N=43, values are means
± S.D.). (C) Spike train recorded from the neuron in A.
Interval between the two pulses = 30 ms. The stimulus artefacts mark the test
pulses. The ordinate gives the number of spikes elicited by a single stimulus,
and the abscissa plots the interval
t between the two stimuli
in the paired-pulse protocol.
