From: Cortical GABAergic neurons are more severely impaired by alkalosis than acidosis
The spike encoding processes of cortical GABAergic neurons are more vulnerable to alkalosis than acidosis. A) Superimposed waveforms show sequential spikes induced by identical protocols under the conditions of control (red trace), acidosis (blue) and alkalosis (dark-blue). B) shows the statistical data in the net changes of ISI for spikes 1 ~ 2, 2 ~ 3, 3 ~ 4 and 4 ~ 5 under the conditions of acidosis minus control (open symbols) and alkalosis minus control (dark symbols, p < 0.05; n = 15). C) shows the statistical data in the net changes of spikes versus normalized stimuli under the conditions of acidosis minus control (open symbols) and alkalosis minus control (dark symbols, p < 0.05; n = 15).
