Firing frequency and CV of interspike intervals measured in LRN neurons under the different recording configurations used in this study
| n | Mean freq. (Hz) | SEM | Range | Mean CV of ISI | SEM | CV range | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In vivo, urethane | 20 | 14.0 | 0.76 | 7.9–22.0 | 0.08 | 0.01 | 0.03–0.21 |
| In vivo, decerebrate unanaesthetised | 9 | 10.5 | 1.28 | 6.6–17.8 | 0.22 | 0.016 | 0.16–0.30 |
| In vitro WCR control | 58 | 6.27 | 0.6 | 1.5–24.0 | 0.21 | 0.02 | 0.07–0.69 |
| In vitro CAP control | 5 | 8.76 | 3.5 | 2.9–21.5 | 0.12 | 0.02 | 0.05–0.15 |
| Cerebellar Golgi cells in vivo anaesthetized* | 87 | 8.42 | NA | 1.9–18.1 | 0.92 | NA | 0.19–2.36 |
For comparison, data for cerebellar Golgi cells that fire with similar mean rates are included in the lower row of the table (*data recorded in vivo from anaesthetized rats, from Vos et al. 1999). WCR, whole-cell recording; CAP, cell attached patch configuration; SEM, standard error of mean.
