Figure 5. Natural firing patterns modulate C_m responses of MeV neurons.

A, representative firing patterns, phasic and tonic, in MeV neurons in response to depolarization pulses (1 s, 200 pA current injection) under current clamp. B, using the phasic and tonic firing patterns recorded by current clamp in A as stimulation templates, we recorded C_m responses with voltage clamp in a MeV neuron soma. C, statistics of averaged C_m responses in B.
