All in vitro data shown here were obtained from slices prepared from 18 to 25 d-old mice, whereas in vivo data were from 30 to 45 d-old mice. Format of entries is: mean ± SE (number of cells). “Max BF freq (Hz)” was calculated by combining spikelets and composite (full-amplitude) barrage-firing APs. “AP rise time (ms)” was measured only for composite barrage-firing APs. In the right-most four columns, “Induct” indicates parameters averaged for five APs near the start of induction, “BF” indicates parameters averaged for the first five APs after start of barrage firing. Unless otherwise stated, induction used 1 s-long current steps at 0.5 Hz. See Results for illustrative statistical comparisons.
