Repetitive firing: slopes of the relationship between average firing frequency vs. current (f-I) and SFA
f-I Slope, 200 ms, Hz/nA | f-I Slope, 2 s, Hz/nA | % Adaptation | Adaptation Index | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Etv1 | 79 ± 1 (21) | 30 ± 1 (22)†‡ | 76 ± 2 (21)‡ | 39 ± 7 (21) |
Glt | 89 ± 1 (30) | 72 ± 1 (30)* | 17 ± 2 (27)*‡ | 1.1 ± 0.3 (27)* |
Layer 2/3 | 92 ± 10 (15) | 55 ± 7 (15)† | 52 ± 4 (15) | 24 ± 14 (15) |
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.
