48 h treatment with Bicuculline (BIC), a GABA-A-R antagonist which was used instead of PTX for technical reasons in these experiments, robustly induced HSD in NC-transfected neurons as evidenced by a highly significant decrease in mEPSC amplitudes compared to the mock-treated condition ( Fig. 2 A – C ).

The sentences
miR-218-5p further showed a trend toward upregulation in the soma compartment, but this did not reach statistical significance.
PTX treatment failed to further decrease spine volume in LNA218 transfected neurons compared to mock treatment but rather exhibited a nonsignificant trend toward an increased size (observed in 7 of 8 replicates, with a 1.07-fold change compared to mock-treated LNA218 condition).
