Table 1Electrophysiological properties of fresh isolated LC neurons and neurons present in slices
Electrophysiological properties were measured according to described at material methods section. Values show mean ± SEM.⁎different from neurons in slices (P<0.01, one-way ANOVA).
Electrophysiological property | LC neurons in slices (n=118) | Isolated LC neurons (n=20) |
Input resistance (MΩ) | 250±9.5 | 374±34⁎ |
Capacitance (PF) | 68±0.9 | 40±1.7⁎ |
Resting membrane potential (mV) | −54±0.5 | −50±1.7 |
Firing frequency (Hz) | 0.3–5 Hz | 0.8–5 Hz |
AP spike height (mV) | 89.7±1.7 | 84.9±6 |
AHP amplitude (mV) | 21±1.3 | 21±3.9 |
