Passive, active and synaptic properties in the nucleus tractus solitarius are unchanged following vagotomy. R_m, membrane resistance; C_m, membrane capacitance; V_m, membrane potential; spEPSC, spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC); mEPSC, miniature EPSC recorded in the presence of TTX.
