Values are means ± SE. Stimulus intensity was half the intensity that produced a maximal response. Sample sizes refer to the number of slices tested from the left hemisphere (hemisphere ipsilateral to the AOAA injection). Recording and stimulation sites are shown in Fig. 2. Amplitude calculations are described in methods. ISI, interstimulus interval. Paired-pulse inhibition is based on the ratio of the second response amplitude to the first and is expressed as a percent (see Methods). None of the differences between control and AOAA rats were statistically significant (P > 0.05; Student's t-test).
