| Group | Vm, mV | Rin, MΩ | Cm, pF | AP Threshold, mV | AP Amplitude, mV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | −70.3 ± 1.1 (17) | 246.6 ± 19.0 (15) | 60.8 ± 2.8 (15) | −40.8 ± 1.2 (10) | 85.5 ± 2.0 (15) |
| NMDM | −71.4 ± 1.6 (17) | 222.1 ± 10.8 (15) | 61.6 ± 1.4 (15) | −43.2 ± 1.6 (10) | 85.5 ± 1.5 (15) |
Passive membrane properties of parasympathetic cardiac motoneurons (PCMNs) of the nucleus ambiguus (NA) in control and NMDM. No significances were found between control and NMDM. Values in parenthesis indicate the number of cells recorded. Vm, resting membrane potential; Rin, input resistance; Cm, membrane capacitance.
