The tonic current can modulate neuronal firing frequency. A. Application of 10 μM bicuculline increases the firing frequency elicited by current injection. In this cell, 100 nM apamin was also present. Responses were recorded using pipettes containing potassium gluconate. Resting potential was −65 mV. B. Data from 12 cells (including 5 tested in the presence of apamin) are summarized in the bar graph. There is a statistically significant increase of the firing rate in the presence of bicuculline (p = 0.01, N = 12, paired t-test). Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
