“…Naltrindole blocked EtOH-LTD at the FSI-MSN synapse (oIPSC amplitude = 97.65 ± 7.32% of baseline, t = 0.32, df = 7, p = 0.76, Figure 3c), and the EtOH effect in this condition differed from control EtOH-LTD (control EtOH-LTD oIPSC amplitude 66.67 ± 6.54%, t = 3.16, df = 14, p = 0.01). To determine if this form of LTD is labile or static (Atwood et al, 2014b), we applied naltrindole (1 μM) to slices 15 min after EtOH washout (Figure 3d). EtOH-LTD did not return to baseline in the presence of naltrindole, suggesting this form of LTD is static (oIPSC following EtOH application = 75.95 ±3.07% of baseline, t = 6.23, df = 5, p = 0.02; oIPSC in naltrindole = 63.58 ± 9.91% of baseline, t = 3.58, df = 5, p = 0.02).…”
