Figure 5. Bright DsRed-fluorescent cells display biophysical properties of astrocytes.

Figure 5

(A,B), left panels: photographs of a bright (A) and faint DsRed-fluorescent cells in the EGL (B) and IGL (C). The arrows point to the recorded cells. Right panels: Representative traces of whole cell currents. The cell membrane was stepped from −100 to +60 mV by 20 mV from a holding potential −60 mV. Scale bars: 500 pA (A), 200 pA (B and C), 50 ms. Inset in (C): Sodium currents activated by 10 mV-depolarizing voltage pulse following a prepulse to −110 mV (protocol with leak-subtraction). Scale bar: 100 pA/1 ms. (D) Current-voltage (I/V) relationships from traces shown in (C to D).
