Active properties were measured by

just suprathreshold stimulation, eliciting 2–4 APs, or

by stronger depolarizing current injection, eliciting 10–14 APs. No significant differences were found between SpSt and Pyr across both genotypes. Data are means ± SEM. Pyr, pyramidal cell; SpSt, spiny stellate cell; ISI, inter-stimulus interval.
