Membrane potential, mV | –75.1 ± 0.9 (45) | –72.6 ± 0.8 (47) |
Input resistance, MΩ | 34.8 ± 2.5 (45) | 33.1 ± 2.5 (47) |
Membrane time constant, ms | 12.4 ± 0.8 (45) | 14.1 ± 1.0 (47) |
Action potential amplitude, mV | 87.9 ± 1.2 (39) | 83.2 ± 3.2 (24) |
Action potential width at half height, ms | 1.16 ± 0.03 (39) | 1.06 ± 0.05 (24) |
Action potential rise time (10–90%), ms | 0.40 ± 0.01 (39) | 0.36 ± 0.01 (24) |
Action potential rate of rise, V/s | 162.0 ± 7.5 (39) | 182.3 ± 13.2 (24) |
Rheobase (action potential current threshold), pA | 206.8 ± 38.4 (21) | 254.0 ± 48.7 (23) |
F-I slope, Hz/nA | 59.5 ± 6.6 (21) | 64.6 ± 9.9 (23) |
Data presented as mean ± SE, number of cells in parentheses. Note that the neurons under the pre-treatment with ZD7288 have
been excluded from the analysis of the membrane properties. Analysis of single action potential and firing properties were
restricted to those neurons which underwent related interferon-
superfusion experiments.
