Adaptation parameters in regular spiking and fast spiking cells

Regular Spiking Fast Spiking
Adaptation index (%)6-150 56.4 ± 13.2 [21.6–84.1] 9.1 ± 14.3 [−26.9–32.1]
(RSC: 68.7 ± 6.6 [55.0–84.1])
(RSTS: 47.9 ± 9.3 [21.6–68.0])
Slope of f-I for first interspike interval (Hz/nA) 357 ± 180 [84–937] 408 ± 191 [119–1020]
(FSLFI: 291 ± 100 [119–471])
(FSC: 548 ± 182 [303–1020])
Adaptation time constant (ms)6-150 21.6 ± 14.5 [3.9–65.4] 9.9 ± 9.9 [1.4–33.4]
(n = 83) (n = 16)
  • Values are means ± SD. Between brackets: minimum and maximum. Sample size (n) given for adaptation time constant since it could not be measured in all the cells.

  • F6-150  Regular spiking and fast spiking cells showed statistically significant differences for adaptation index and adaptation time constant but not for the f–I slope of the first interspike interval of the current evoked discharge. The adaptation index values are also given for RSTS and RSC subclasses since these showed a significant difference for this variable. Likewise for the slope of the f–I slope of the first interspike interval for FSLFI and FSC cells.
