Figure 5A-D. Mice were injected daily with THC (5 mg/kg) or vehicle (Veh) during adolescence, from PND 30 to 45. SB258585 (SB, 2.5 mg/kg) or rapamycin (Rapa, 1.5 mg/kg) were administered concomitantly with THC (n=20 from N=5) or vehicle (n=18 from N=6). Electrophysiological recordings were performed from PND 60. A. The resting membrane potential (RMP) was determined immediately after whole-cell formation: -71.8 ± 1.2 mV and -60.1 ± 1.5 mV for Vehicle and THC conditions, respectively, p < 0.001.A-D. Mice were injected daily with THC (5 mg/kg) or vehicle (Veh) during adolescence, from PND 30 to 45. SB258585 (SB, 2.5 mg/kg) or rapamycin (Rapa, 1.5 mg/kg) were administered concomitantly with THC (n=20 from N=5) or vehicle (n=18 from N=6). Electrophysiological recordings were performed from PND 60. B. Action potentials were evoked by a ramp current injection with a 10 pA-step for 2 ms and only the first action potential (AP) were used to estimate the AP threshold: -34.1 ± 0.7 mV and -39.7 ± 0.8 mV for Vehicle- and THC-injected mice, respectively, p < 0.001.A-D. Mice were injected daily with THC (5 mg/kg) or vehicle (Veh) during adolescence, from PND 30 to 45. SB258585 (SB, 2.5 mg/kg) or rapamycin (Rapa, 1.5 mg/kg) were administered concomitantly with THC (n=20 from N=5) or vehicle (n=18 from N=6). Electrophysiological recordings were performed from PND 60. C. The rheobase represents the minimal current required to induce neuronal firing, it was lowered in THC condition: 670 ± 43 pA and 376 ± 43 pA for Vehicle and THC conditions, respectively, p < 0.001.A-D. Mice were injected daily with THC (5 mg/kg) or vehicle (Veh) during adolescence, from PND 30 to 45.

Electrophysiological recordings were performed from PND 60. D. The firing rate induced by a 150 pA current injection during 250 ms is expressed as the number of APs.E. top: Voltage sag in response to hyperpolarizing current injection (50 pA-increments, from -400 to 0 pA) in PFC pyramidal neurons from mice injected with vehicle (Veh, n= 10 from N=5), THC (n = 11 from N=5), THC+SB258585 (THC/SB, n=7 from N=4) or THC+Rapa (THC/Rapa, n=7 from N=4) during adolescence. *** p < 0.001, one-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni test, vs. THC-injected mice.
