Intrinsic electrophysiological properties of MCH neurons
| RMP (mV) | Rs (MΩ) | Rm (MΩ) | Cm (pF) | AP thresh (mV) | AP height (mV) | AP width at half-height (ms) | AHP (mV) | AHP time (ms) | AP rise time (ms) | AP fall time (ms) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| −58.7 ± 2.4 | 33.5 ± 2.3 | 243.1 ± 53.4 | 32.4 ± 5.6 | −34.8 ± 1.9 | 65.6 ± 1.4 | 1.75 ± 0.2 | 14.2 ± 0.9 | 8.1 ± 2.8 | 1.2 ± 0.1 | 2.3 ± 0.3 |
Values are mean ± SEM. The quantification is based on selected MCH ZsGreen+ neurons (n = 9) recorded from lateral hypothalamus. Abbreviations: RMP, resting membrane potential; Rs, series resistance; Rm, membrane resistance; Cm, membrane capacitance; AP, action potential; AHP, afterhyperpolarization potential.
