NMDG-sensitive Na⁺ leak currents and NMDG-induced membrane potential changes in daytime and nighttime VIP⁺, NMS⁺, and GRP⁺ SCN neurons

		I_NaL (pA/pF)	ΔV_m (mV)
Day	VIP⁺	2.1 $\pm$ 0.2 n = 46	−17.2 $\pm$ 0.7^a n = 25
	NMS⁺	1.9 $\pm$ 0.2 n = 38	−18.2 $\pm$ 0.9^b n = 23
	GRP⁺	1.9 $\pm$ 0.2 n = 19	−17.5 $\pm$ 0.8^c n = 20
Night	VIP⁺	1.8 $\pm$ 0.2 n = 42	−14.6 $\pm$ 0.6^a n = 27
	NMS⁺	1.8 $\pm$ 0.2 n = 33	−14.6 $\pm$ 0.8^b n = 19
	GRP⁺	1.7 $\pm$ 0.2 n = 23	−13.9 $\pm$ 0.7^c n = 23

Values are mean ± SEM; n = number of cells. I_NaL, NMDG-sensitive Na⁺ leak current density; ΔV_m, NMDG-induced change in membrane potential.

^a-cMean ΔV_m values are different (^a^,^bp < 0.05; ^cp < 0.01; Kolmogorov–Smirnov test) in daytime and nighttime VIP⁺⁽^a⁾, NMS⁺⁽^b⁾, and GRP⁺⁽^c⁾ SCN neurons. Mean daytime and nighttime I_NaL densities, in contrast, are similar in VIP⁺, NMS⁺, and GRP⁺ SCN neurons.
