Investigation of Neuron Latency Modulated by Bilateral Inferior Collicular Interactions Using Whole-Cell Patch Clamp Recording in Brain Slices

Figure 3

Influence of bilateral IC integration on latency. (a-1) The response of a typical neuron for which the latency was shortened (#20160513001-E-5-1) after stimulating the CNIC. The injected depolarizing current was 70 pA. (b-1) The response of a typical neuron for which the latency was prolonged (#20160702003-E-5-1) after stimulating the CNIC. The injected depolarizing current was 100 pA. (c-1) The response of a typical neuron for which the latency was unchanged (#20160801001-E-5-1) after stimulating the CNIC. The injected depolarizing current was 70 pA. (a-2, b-2, and c-2) The strength-latency function for three typical neurons for which the or the . The gap was defined as the time from when the stimulation in one side ended to the time the depolarizing current was injected. The black line indicates the strength-latency function for the control group. The red line indicates the strength-latency function when the synaptic input was induced from the contralateral IC neuron. The green line indicates the strength-latency function in recovery.
