Upon the sequential application of phenylephrine in low-Ca2+ ACSF, average levels of all the parameters changed significantly (P < 0.05-0.01, evaluated by ANOVA, n = 15). Values are means ± SE. MP, membrane potential; AHP, afterhyperpolarization; τ, time constant; Instant Freq, Instantaneous
frequency; other abbreviations are the same as Table 1.
