Isochronal analysis of the complex postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) revealed disinhibition of the CA1 pryamidal cells (PCs) that was correlated with spatial memory formation. The learning-specific disinhibition was accompanied by the reduced peak inhibitory PSP (IPSP) amplitudes and longer times to the IPSP and excitatory PSP (EPSP) peaks (underlined). In general, the SW3 cells recorded after 3 days of swimming without platform had a mean V m slightly more hyperpolarized as compared to the naı̈ve, SW1, WMT1 groups. The WMT3 cells had a mean V m somewhat more hyperpolarized as compared to SW1 and WMT1 but not to the naı̈ve neurons. Data presented as means ± SE. WMT1 and WMT3, groups water-maze trained for 1 or 3 days, respectively; SW1 and SW3, control groups that swam for 1 or 3 days.
