Summary of the physiological properties of neurons (projection neurons) frequently labeled by retrograde transport of fluorescent microspheres microinjected in the VTA compared with those (other neurons) that were never labeled

Projection neurons Other neurons
Membrance capacitance 21.9 ± 1.2 pF 54.4 ± 8 pF
Input resistance 1090 ± 171 MΩ 229 ± 25 MΩ
Rectification IR Ih
Response to noradrenaline VC, in or out <50 pA CC, hyperpolarization In >50 pA
  • CC, Current clamp; VC, voltage clamp; IR, inward rectification; Ih, hyperpolarization-activated current.
