Values represent means ± SE; n, number of cells. PrS, presubiculum; Con, control group; Epi, epileptic group; RS, regular-spiking cell; IR, irregular-spiking cell; FA, fast-adapting cell. Electrophysiological parameters were measured as described in materials and methods. Significant differences between Epi and Con groups are italicized. >, significantly greater with P < 0.05, t-test; >>, significantly greater, with P < 0.01, t-test; n/d, not determined because number of action potentials was insufficient for reliable analysis.
