Basic electrophysiological measures

Cooled n Room n Body n Q10 n
Em (mV) −56.9 ± 6.2 *** 18 −68.2 ± 4.4 25 −69.6 ± 5.5 19
τ0 (ms) 58.3 ± 20.1 *** 19 32.5 ± 9.3 *** 26 18.1 ± 4.9 20 0.56 ± 0.11 26
Q/a0(pC/mV) 0.198 ± 0.039 19 0.209 ± 0.043 26 0.251 ± 0.085 20 1.14 ± 0.22 26
RN (MΩ) 337.1 ± 149.9 *** 19 180.6 ± 69.7 *** 26 99.0 ± 44.8 20 0.55 ± 0.14 26

The data presented are averages ± standard deviation (n, sample number) with a single value for Q10 derived for a given cell for each parameter (except Em which does not show a consistent trend across the whole temperature range). Highly significant differences from body temperature were found for those measures marked with asterisks. Other comparisons were not significant.
