Table 1.

Current and Ca2+ responses in the vehicle and AP bursting groups were equivalent.

Ca2+ peak Ca2+ nM 600 ± 133 540 ± 121 0.75
Ca2+ 10 min later nM 270 ± 179 149 ± 51 0.46
Ca2+ AUC nM.s 211 ± 79 152 ± 38 0.46

Charge transfer and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated from the integral of the trace between the current response onset and return to baseline and between the Ca2+ response onset and a point 10 min later. Current data comes from 9 vehicle and 10 AP bursting neurons of which Ca2+ data was recorded in 5 vehicle and 6 AP bursting cells. All Ca2+ analysis was performed from a somatic region of interest.
