Figure 5

The effect of depolarizing current and PGE 2 on the activity of a VMPO warm sensitive neuron. A shows the initial action potential that was produced during baseline conditions, in response to a depolarizing current injection (50 pA, 500 msec). The onset of the current is indicated on the line at the bottom of the figure and only the initial 22.0 mSec are shown. The first spike latency was 4.0 mSec. In B, the initial action potential that was produced in response to a depolarizing current injection is shown during perfusion with PGE2 (200 nM). The first spike latency was 6.6 mSec.
