From: Sex differences in pre- and post-synaptic glutamate signaling in the nucleus accumbens core
AMPA/NMDA ratio in the nucleus accumbens core is higher in female Long-Evans rats compared to male rats. Whole-cell recordings demonstrated no significant effect of sex on sEPSC amplitude (A, B; n = 11–12/group) or frequency (C, D; n = 10–11/group). Female rats have a significantly higher AMPA/NMDA ratio in this region than male rats (E; n = 13–17/group).
