Figure 2. CRF potentiates NMDAR currents after binge ethanol drinking.
(A,B) (A) Example traces (inset) and data across time, and (B) averaged data showing enhancement of evoked NMDAR currents by 100 nM CRF in VTA neurons from binge-drinking mice but not from naïve mice. Scale bars in (A) represent 150 pA and 150 msec. “Baseline” and “CRF-wash” indicate that example traces were taken from the pre-CRF baseline and from 10 min after washout of CRF, a time point when the NMDAR currents were still enhanced. Numbers in each bar correspond to the n per group. * p < 0.05.
