The relation between the time constants of recovery from inactivation τ and the duration of conditioning prepulses (t_pre) is given by the power law relation τ(t_pre) =a(t_pre/a)^b. Values for the constant kinetic setpoint a and the scaling power b are given for both τ_fast and τ_slow. Voltage values in leftmost column refer to the voltage of the conditioning prepulses.
