Table 1.  Active and passive membrane properties of NPS-EGFP neurons
 At −60 mV (n= 47)
  1. Input resistance was calculated by RV/I; with an injected current of −50 pA. Capacitance was calculated by C=τ/R; membrane time constant τ was obtained by a monoexponential fit of the membrane potential shift induced by a current injection of −50 pA. Resting membrane potential was measured immediately after establishing whole-cell configuration. AHP, after-hyperpolarizing potential; measured after the first action potential. Frequency adaptation index calculated by FAI = frequency of the last two APs/frequency of the first two APs. Amplitude adaptation: AA = amplitude of last AP/amplitude of first AP. AP half -width was measured from the first AP.
