Figure 4.
The flash reduced release only if applied before or during the depolarizing pulse. [CCh*]local = 4 µM. [TTX]o = 0.5 µM. Experimental protocols beneath EPSCs and corresponding columns. EPSCs without (solid line) and with (dashed line) flash. (A–C) Same site, each trace is an average of five repetitions. Test pulse, −1.0 μA, 0.2 ms. Flash was applied 1 ms before (A), in the middle of (B), and 0.05 ms after (C) the test pulse. (D) Average of 14 experiments as in A–C. From left to right, 100 ± 2%, 54 ± 2%, 83 ± 5%, and 97.5 ± 4% of control (significance indicated above bars).
