Table 2. Numbers of neurons recorded in pentobarbital-application experiments.
A total of 61 rats (number of rats per age is indicated in the top row under the age header) were used for pentobarbital application experiments to record spontaneous action potentials from 1,118 neurons. The distribution of neuronal recordings is shown for each age and region.
