Fig. 4. Brain application of 50 µmol l1 5-HT hyperpolarized
the swim-triggering neuron Tr1. 5-HT caused a gradual change of the resting
membrane potential of Tr1, resulting in a 6 mV hyperpolarization after
approximately 3 min of the application. At this hyperpolarized membrane
potential, Tr1 ceased firing action potentials.
