TABLE 1.Electrophysiological characteristics of the nRT and nVB neurons
|

nRT | nVB | |
|

RMP, mV | –68 ± 4 | –66 ± 3† |
Rin, MΩ | 454 ± 101 | 685 ± 194.16** |
Action potential parameters | ||
Threshold, mV | –44 ± 6 | –39 ± 4* |
Amplitude, mV | 97 ± 11 | 78 ± 11** |
Half-amplitude duration, ms | 1.12 ± 0.13 | 1.71 ± 0.50** |
Data are given as means ± SD. P values are calculated with the unpaired two-tailed t-test:
* P < 0.005;
** P < 0.0001.
† P > 0.05, not significant. Number of neurons was 19 for nucleus reticularis thalani (nRT) on 22 for nucleus ventralis basalis (nVB).
