Effects of bath application of low concentrations of propofol on two types of neurons. (A) Representative diagrams illustrating the impact of 5 μM propofol on Type-1 latency period (left: schematic during ACSF bath application, middle: schematic during 5 μM propofol bath application, right: statistical graph comparing latency periods during ACSF and propofol (5 μM) bath application). (B) Representative diagrams depicting the effect of 5 μM propofol on Type-1 rheobase current (left: schematic during ACSF bath application, middle: schematic during 5 μM propofol bath application, right: statistical graph comparing rheobase current during ACSF and propofol (5 μM) bath application). (C) Representative diagrams showing the effect of 5 μM propofol on Type-2 latency period (left: schematic during ACSF bath application, middle: schematic during 5 μM propofol bath application, right: statistical graph comparing latency periods during ACSF and propofol (5 μM) bath application). (D) Representative diagrams illustrating the impact of 5 μM propofol on Type-2 rheobase current (left: schematic during ACSF bath application, middle: schematic during 5 μM propofol bath application, right: statistical graph comparing rheobase current during ACSF and propofol (5 μM) bath application). Each line represents changes in an individual neuron before and after treatment, with each point indicating data from a single neuron. *P < 0.05
