This table shows the amplitudes of the fast afterhyperpolarizations (fAHPs) after individual spikes and the slow afterhyperpolarizations (sAHPs) after bursts of spikes in the different adaptation classes of interneurons and in granule cells.1The amplitude of the fAHPs of both nonadapting and strongly adapting cells were greater than the fAHPs of normally adapting interneurons (p < 0.05). The sAHPs of strongly adapting cells were greater than the sAHPs of2normally adapting (p < 0.05) and3nonadapting (p < 0.01) interneurons. Granule cells did not have sAHPs and, in fact, the average potential after a burst in the granule cells was 1 mV depolarized [significantly different than the 4normally adapting, strongly adapting (p < 0.01) and 5nonadapting (p 0.05) interneurons]. The number of spikes in the bursts used for the measurements of the sAHP is given also.
