Differences in excitatory synaptic activity in female insular pyramidal neurons by region. A, B Representative spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) recorded at − 70 mV in female aIC and pIC. C, D On average, excitatory events are comparable in amplitude and frequency in both aIC and pIC. E, F Log-normal curve fittings with confidence intervals (± CI) reveal higher proportion of smaller and more frequent events in the aIC as compared to the pIC. Data are presented as box-and-whisker plots (minimum, maximum, median) and analyzed via Mann–Whitney U test. P-values < 0.05 are depicted in the graphs. The sample size for aIC female was 13/6, and for pIC female was 17/12
