Peak and slow AHPs

Peak AHP, mVsAHP, mV
Etv16.6 ± 0.3 (77)3.2 ± 0.2 (77)
Glt5.5 ± 0.2 (62)*0.8 ± 0.2 (62)*
Layer 2/33.7 ± 0.4 (21)1.3 ± 0.2 (21)
  • Data are presented as mean ± SE (n, number of cells). Afterhyperpolarizations (AHPs) were elicited in response to 10 suprathreshold, 5-ms current injections at 50 Hz. Note that the RMP when this protocol was run was significantly more negative in the layer 2/3 cells (-78 ± 1 mV) vs. the layer 5 cells (-74 ± 0.5 for etv1 and -74 ± 0.4 mV for glt), which likely contributed to the smaller AHP amplitudes in these cells.

  • * Significant difference, glt from etv1 (P < 0.05, unpaired t-test).

  • Significant difference vs. layer 2/3 (ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test). sAHP, slow AHP.
