All data are means ± SEM; n = number of cells; N = number of slices/animals. Rin = input resistance; Vrest = resting membrane potential; APThr = voltage threshold for action potential generation; APA = action potential amplitude; dV2/dt interval = time between the first and second peaks in the second derivative of the voltage (dV2/dt) plot; Peak dV/dt = maximum rate of change of the membrane voltage during the rising phase of the action potential; APD50 = action potential duration at 50% repolarization.
