Values are means ± SD. The overshoot, undershoot, and rising and falling rate of granule cell spikes were compared in different recording conditions. Recordings obtained using a bridge amplifier did not significantly differ from those obtained using a patch-clamp amplifier in the fast current-clamp mode. In the fast patch-clamp current-clamp mode, no significant difference was observed between the perforated-patch (PPR) and whole cell recording (WCR) configuration. Statistical significance has been tested at the 0.05 probability level.
