NMDA Receptor-Dependent Synaptic Activity in Dorsal Motor Nucleus of Vagus Mediates the Enhancement of Gastric Motility by Stimulating ST36

Figure 3

Low frequency stimulation at ST36 increases frequency of mEPSC. (a) Representative traces of mEPSC. (b) Cumulative plots of mEPSC amplitude and frequency of control. (c) Cumulative plots of mEPSC amplitude and frequency of low frequency stimulation at ST36. (d) Summarized amplitudes of mEPSC of labeled and unlabeled neuron in control and stimulated group. Unpaired 𝑡 test shows no significant difference between labeled and unlabeled neurons in both groups. (e) Summarized frequencies of mEPSC of labeled and unlabeled neuron in control and stimulated rats. ^∗𝑃<0.05, compared to the unlabeled neurons from the stimulated rats; ^#𝑃<0.05, compared to the labeled neurons from control; 𝑛=8–11, unpaired 𝑡 test.
