Figure Lengend Snippet: Spatiotemporal properties of LTD around the tetanic and test stimulation electrodes under the conditions of NMDA receptor, non-NMDA receptor, and metabotropic glutamate receptor 3 antagonists. Ratio indices (RIs) of evoked responses at eight recording sites around the TS site during 60 min posterior to TS under the control and the antagonists (10-μM D-AP5, 50-μM DNQX, and 50-μM MPEP) conditions. (E) schematic representation of the tetanic and test stimulation sites at position (0, 0) and the eight recording sites (−1, 1), (−1, 0), (−1, −1), (0, 1), (0, −1), (1, 1), (1, 0), and (1, −1) in a two-dimensional array representation for (A–D,F–I) , respectively. Each of the inter-electrode distances (IEDs) was 150 μm. In the abscissa of each bar graph, time in minutes represents the time points after TS with a 10-min step. We used an ANOVA for multiple comparisons followed by a post-hoc Steel-Dwass test: control ( n = 7), D-AP5 ( n = 6), DNQX ( n = 7), and MPEP ( n = 6). * and ** represent p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively.
Article Snippet: After stable baseline recording had been acquired for longer than 10 min by test stimulation before TS, we administered, at the end of each experiment, one of the following drugs: (i) α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) and kainate receptor antagonist DNQX (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom) at concentrations of 10 μM, (ii) NMDA receptor antagonist D-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (D-AP5, Tocris Bioscience) at concentrations of 50 μM, (iii) metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist 6-methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine hydrochloride (MPEP hydrochloride, Tocris Bioscience) at concentrations of 10 μM, (iv) GABA A receptor antagonist bicuculline methiodide (Tocris Bioscience) at concentrations of 5 μM, (v) GABA A receptor agonist muscimol (Toronto Research Chemicals, Toronto, CAN) at concentration of 5 μM, and (vi) GABA B receptor antagonist CGP 54626 hydrochloride (Tocris Bioscience) at 5 μM.
