Repetitive firing: slopes of the relationship between average firing frequency vs. current (f-I) and SFA

  • Data are presented as means ± SE (n, number of cells). Firing was elicited in response to 2-s current injections at different amplitudes. Percentage of adaptation (% Adaptation) = 100 × (frequency of 3rd ISI) - (frequency of final ISI)/(frequency of 3rd ISI). Adaptation index = 100 × the slope of a linear regression line fit to 1/ISI vs. ISI number (Groh et al. 2010). Percent adaptation and adaptation index were for firing at 300 pA.

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

  • Significant difference from same cell type (etv1 or glt) vs. 200 ms f-I slope (P < 0.05, t-test).

  • Significant difference vs. layer 2/3 (ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test). SFA, spike frequency adaptation; ISI, interspike interval.
