| ChAT-Positive | ChAT-Negative | |
|---|---|---|
| G hold, nS | 6.1 ± 0.7 (13) | 2.4 ± 0.4 (18) |
| G inst, nS | 10.5 ± 1.3 (13) | 3.1 ± 0.6 (18) |
| G ss, nS | 11.1 ± 1.2 (13) | 5.2 ± 0.9 (18) |
| Resting membrane potential, mV | −65.3 ± 2.7 (13) | −52.5 ± 2.8 (18) |

Values are means ± SE with number of neurons given in parentheses. G hold andG ss were respectively measured between −60 and −80 mV, and −100 and −120 mV from current-voltage relationships of steady-state currents produced by voltage steps (1–1.2 s duration) from a holding potential of −60 mV. G inst was measured between −100 and −120 from the current-voltage relationship of the instantaneous current seen immediately after the capacitive transient.
