Condition 1, reducing initial segment sodium conductance (gNa) by 25% and soma gNa by 15%. Condition 2, increasing initial segment delayed rectifier potassium conductance (gKdr) by 55% and soma gKdr by 42%. In right-hand column, A indicates very strong agreement, B indicates somewhat in agreement (see Table 1).
