There were no significant statistical differences between groups. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (number of cells). Non-transfected cells were paired with experimental treatments by selecting a non-transfected cell in the same layer in the same slice (within ∼50 μm). Kv2.1 DN = Kv2.1 pore mutant dominant negative construct. GFP = transfected with DNA for GFP only. GFP NT = paired non-transfected cells for GFP alone group. Kv2.1 WT = wild-type Kv2.1 (overexpression). Kv2.1 WT NT = non-transfected cells paired with WT overexpression group. RMP = resting membrane potential. Rin= input resistance. AP = action potential. Vth= voltage threshold for AP. HW = half width of AP (see Methods). dV/dt= maximum of first derivative of voltage for AP upstroke (up) or repolarization (down). 1 dV/dt of AP are reported in V/s.
