Persistent firing in the absence of fast synaptic transmission. (A) Top trace shows a large excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP). Middle trace shows that the EPSP was completely blocked by the addition of APV, DNQX, and picrotoxin. Bottom trace shows that the synaptic input was still intact after washing out the three drugs. Each of the traces is the average of five synaptic stimulations. (B) Persistent firing elicited by a depolarizing current step during the time when the EPSP was blocked. From Navaroli et al. (2012).
