Whisker deprivation increases PPR Whisker deprivation increases PPR. A, Top, Representative recordings of pairs of AMPA receptor-mediated EPSCs (recorded at −70 mV) at ISIs of 12, 20, 40, and 80 ms in D and B columns in slices from control and D-row-deprived rats.

A, Top, Representative recordings of pairs of AMPA receptor-mediated EPSCs (recorded at −70 mV) at ISIs of 12, 20, 40, and 80 ms in D and B columns in slices from control and D-row-deprived rats. Bottom, Summary of deprivation effects on PPR. Numbers indicate ISI. B, Lowering external calcium from 2.5 to 1.25 mm increases PPR. C, CTZ does not alter PPR. Veh, DMSO vehicle control.
