mEPSCs and PPRs recorded from EGFP-labeled, GABAergic neurons with BAPTA included in recording pipette.

<p>mEPSCs from GFP-labeled neurons with intracellular BAPTA did not show statistically significant differences between CCI-treated and sham-operated mice in rate (<b>A</b>: sham n = 23; CCI n = 21, P>0.1, Mann-Whitney rank sum test) and amplitude (<b>C</b>: sham n = 23; CCI n = 21, P>0.1, Mann-Whitney rank sum test) – compare with Fig. 3. B and D: Corresponding cumulative probability plots of inter-event-intervals (<b>B</b>) and amplitudes (<b>D</b>) of mEPSCs. (<b>E</b>) and (<b>F</b>) Paired-pulse ratios were not different in CCI-treated mice as compared to sham-operated control mice in none of the interstimulus intervals tested neither following Aδ-fiber stimulation (sham: n = 13, CCI: n = 16; E) nor C-fiber stimulation (sham: n = 19, CCI: n = 12; F) (P>0.1 for all groups, two-way ANOVA). Data: mean ± s.e.m.
