Intrinsic electrophysiological properties of three groups of neurons recorded: pyramidal neurons in L6, FS interneurons in L5, and nFS interneurons in L5.
| RMP (mV) | Input resistance (MΩ) | Spike amplitude (mV) | Peak firing frequency (Hz) | n | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Layer 6 pyramidal neurons | –90.2 ± 0.6 | 128.5 ± 3.9 | 83.1 ± 0.6 | 22.4 ± 0.8 | 122 |
| Layer 5 FS interneurons | –85.2 ± 1.2 | 114.3 ± 9.8 | 59.5 ± 2.2 | 109.8 ± 23.3 | 19 |
| Layer 5 nFS interneurons | –82.7 ± 1.6 | 235.9 ± 30.0* | 79.7 ± 1.9** | 34.1 ± 3.0** | 22 |
Neuronal properties shown are resting membrane potential (RMP), input resistance, spike amplitude, and peak firing frequency upon injection of a maximal suprathreshold current. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. Comparisons between L5 FS and nFS interneurons: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.001, unpaired t tests.
