Fig. 7: Blockade of dynamin-dependent endocytosis augments the effects of BIL on the excitability of MVN neurons.

a An example recording showing that preincubation of slices with dynasore (40 μM, 30 min), an inhibitor for dynamin-dependent endocytosis, increased the basal firing rate of MVN neurons and further amplified BIL-induced increase in the ratio of Iinward/Ioutward, implicating a larger sodium current. b, c Pooled data plots, summarizing the augmented increases in the firing rate and ratio of Iinward/Ioutward. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001, independent-samples t-test.
