Values are means ± SE. Numbers of cells are 40, 13, and 24 and 40, 14, and 26 for dorsal and ventral control, nonlearners, and learners, respectively. Numbers in bold indicate a significant difference as compared to both the control and nonlearners groups using the Fisher's protected least-significant difference test. Spike width is the ratio of the width of the fourth action potential divided by the width of the first action potential measured during the four-spike after hyperpolarization measurements. Accom, accommodation; RMP, resting membrane potential; IR, input resistance.
