Summary of the neurones that responded to auditory stimuli
n | Resting membrane potential (mV) | Latency of PSP (ms) | Rise time of PSP (ms) | Decay time of PSP (ms) | Duration of PSP (ms) | Amplitude of PSP (mV) | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Values are mean ± s.d. n, number of neurones. PSP, postsynaptic potential. *P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01 (t test, compared with EPSP neurones). | |||||||
