Ih shortens EPSPs in afferent dendrites. A–H: whole cell current-clamp recording from afferent dendrites. Recordings were done in the presence of cAMP analogs (200 μM 8-Br-cAMP extracellularly and additionally 200 μM cAMP intracellularly). A–C: EPSP waveform before and while blocking Ih with 2 mM CsCl. A: average EPSP waveform before (black) and during application of 2 mM CsCl (red). B: EPSP decay time constants (τdecay) plotted against EPSP amplitudes before and while blocking Ih with 2 mM CsCl; control: τdecay = 4.97 ms (black, 34 EPSPs); in 2 mM CsCl: τdecay = 7.18 ms (red, 41 EPSPs). C: summarized results from 7 recordings. D–F: EPSP waveform before and during application of 50 μM ZD7288. D: average EPSP waveform before (black) and during application of 50 μM ZD7288 (magenta). E: EPSP decay time constants (τdecay) plotted against EPSP amplitudes; control: τdecay = 5.38 ms (black, 22 EPSPs), in 50 μM ZD7288: τdecay = 8.30 ms (magenta, 16 EPSPs). F: summarized results from 6 recordings.
