  • *p < 0.05 (Student’s t test).

  • F2_a The distributions of this parameter did not meet the criteria for normal distribution and were compared with the Mann–Whitney rank sum test, being the difference significant (p < 0.02; medians 1.40 msec, LTS+ and 1.10 msec, LTS−).

  • The amplitude of the action potentials was measured from the threshold level, and the duration was measured at half-amplitude. The input resistance was measured from the response to small (−0.1 nA) hyperpolarizing current pulses. Values are given as mean ± SEM (n).
