Global intracellular impedance measurements of a striatal neuron recorded in vitro (current-clamp) and stimulated with sinusoid inputs from 6 to 926 Hz. (A) Sine waves of current (top, red; minimum 25 samples and 20 cycles per sample) were injected in patched neurons while recording the intracellular potential (top, in blue; 16.7 kHz sampling). (B) Modulus of Zeq (log scale) represented as a function of frequency (log10(f)), for sine wave current injection (600 pA amplitude). (C) Fourier phase of Zeq in the same experiment. Parameters of the models: (resistive) Rm = 120 MΩ, Cs = 46 pF, and Re = 28 MΩ; (diffusive) Rm = 130 MΩ, Cm = 59 pF, A = 58 MΩ, B = 43 MΩ, and fW = 30 Hz. (A, B, and fW are parameters of the diffusive impedance scaling; respectively, its amplitude, phase, and cutoff frequency.) Representative of N = 18 cells. To see this figure in color, go online.
