Table 2 Effects of 10 μM CCh, 1 μM pirenzepine, or co-application of CCh and pirenzepine, as indicated, on the maximal amplitude of the field potentials, the maximal amplitude of EPSP (EPSP max ), the I 50 and slope factor of the EPSP input–output curve

  1. The order of two drugs given in the figures indicates the sequence of application (i.e. “CCh + pir” means pirenzepine was added to a CCh containing ACSF and vice versa)
  2. These experiments were performed in STRC
  3. *: p < 0.05 vs. control, +: p < 0.05 vs. previous condition
