Basic cellular properties of EC deep layer cells
| Control | Epileptic | |
|---|---|---|
| n | 51 | 45 |
| Resting membrane potential, mV | 60 ± 1 | 61 ± 1 |
| Input resistance, MΩ | 44 ± 2 | 41 ± 2 |
| Inward rectification present, % | 19 | 26 |
| Rebound action potential present, % | 22 | 21 |
| Spike frequency adaptation absent, % | 5 | 9 |

Values for continuous variable are means ± SE. No differences between control and epileptic groups are statistically significant (P > 0.05). Continuous variables compared by analysis of variance (ANOVA) and proportions compared by Fisher's exact test. EC, entorhinal cortex.
