Properties of the EPSC. (A) Epifluorescence image of a UBC filled through the patch pipette with a fluorescent dye. (B) Example recordings of responses to a single presynaptic stimulus from two different UBCs. (Insets) enlargement of the fast EPSC. (Vertical scale bars, 50 pA.) Red markers indicate the time of stimulation; artifacts were removed for clarity. Traces are averages of 10 sweeps. (C) Summary of EPSC properties from 22 UBCs, Left to Right: peak amplitude, Inline graphic rise time Inline graphic, decay time constant of the fast EPSC Inline graphic, decay time constant of the slow tail Inline graphic, and total charge transferred Inline graphic. Filled dots, K+-based internal. Open dots, Cs+-based internal. All data were taken at Inline graphic, except for the filled gray dots, which were taken at Inline graphic (n = 2) or Inline graphic (n = 3). Average and SEM are shown in red. (D) Response to burst stimulation Inline graphic of the same cells as in A, averages of five sweeps. (E) Amplitude vs. delay of the maximal slow EPSC from 15 UBCs.
