l-Glutamate and l-aspartate concentration responses were measured in ND96 at pH 5.5, 6.5, 7.5, and 8.5 and fitted by least squares as a function of current at −60 mV to the Michaelis–Menten equation (Eq. 1) to obtain K0.5 values for both glutamate and aspartate. Data shown represent the mean ± SEM (n ≥ 4).
